s/x86/i386/ since that is the name used in 'arch' directories
in the kernel source, and previously both i386 and x86 were both
used in man pages; also nowadays 'x86' is now somewhat ambiguous,
since it is the name of the 'arch' directory for i386 and x86-64.

Various pages
mtk / Alain Portal
Format casts so that there is a non-breaking space after the
type, and remove unnecessary parentheses around the casted value.
Thus, for example, the following:
.IR "(size_t) (\-1)" .
becomes:
.IR "(size_t)\ \-1" .
