Michael Kerrisk e32652ca9f syslog.2: Rework text describing loglevels 
The kernel header file mentioned in the discussion of the KERN_*
constants has morphed and is no longer exported inside glibc.
And the definitions of the constants themselves changed subtly
with kernel commit 04d2c8c83d0e3ac5f78aeede51babb3236200112.
So, rewrite the description of the constants to be a bit more
abstract.

Carlos O'Donell 7b08c45b7d syscalls.2: Add prlimit64(2) 
While trying to reconcile the new features in glibc with the
documented entries in the linux kernel man pages I noticed that
glibc exports prlimit64 for use by 32-bit applications (as does
the linux kernel), but that prlimit64 was not defined in the
syscalls list or in the prlimit-related page.

This is not the complete fix for this, but I don't have the time
to explain why and when prlimit64 should be used (or how it should
be used safely). Therefore I'm just patching the syscalls.2 list
to show that prlimit64 exists and was added in 2.6.36 (verified
with git by checking out the tags before and after).

Unless you've purposely excluded prlimit64 to avoid telling users
about it because it's complicated, please apply.
