Kernel logs often print errnos as '%d', so having the numbers next to the
defined names in the man-page is convenient to find out what went wrong.
Also move the indentation from 16 to 21 to make the numbers fit.

The errorcodes were inserted by a little awk-script which parsed the numbers
directly out of the Kernel include-files.

Which Kernel include files? As I recall there is some variation in
errno codes across architectures.

Yes, true. Alpha has a custom one :( Pity!

Thanks for the pointer,
