Michal Hocko 9bbc50e6e0 madvise.2: MADV_FREE clarify swapless behavior
Since 93e06c7a6453 ("mm: enable MADV_FREE for swapless system") we
handle MADV_FREE on a swapless system the same way as with the
swap available. Clarify that fact in the man page.

README

This package contains Linux man pages for sections 1 through 8.  Some
more information is given in the 'man-pages-x.y.Announce' file.

Installing and uninstalling
===========================
"make install" will copy these man pages to /usr/share/man/man[1-8].

To install to a path different from /usr, use
"make install prefix=/install/path".

"make remove" or "make uninstall" will remove any man page in this
distribution from its destination.  Use with caution, and remember to
use "prefix" if desired, as with the "install" target.

"make" or "make all" will perform "make uninstall" followed by "make
install".

Man page overlap and duplication
================================
Note that sometimes these pages are duplicates of pages also distributed
in other packages.  This has been reported about:
