I think this would be more appropriate for HISTORY.  In VERSIONS, we
usually document differences with the BSDs or other systems.

While moving this to HISTORY, it would also be useful to mention the
glibc version that added the structure.  In the future, we'd document
the versions of glibc and Linux that have added members.

Sure, though I just copied this section from open_how(2type).

Thanks!  I should fix that.


Cheers,
Alex
