See my reply to the thread started by Christoph Hellwig
(https://lwn.net/Articles/562297/). I've taken your man-pages patch,
and applied it in a branch. I tweaked the language and formatting a
bit, and also added documentation of the EINVAL and EISDIR (ick!)
error cases.

As noted in the other thread, the API is questionable in the opinion
of a few people. Maybe it will change, and this man-pages patch will
need some further tweaking. If that doesn't happen, I'll merge it as
is, at the time of the 3.11 stable release.

Looks like my API comments were simplify ignored, so maybe it's time to
document things properly and pull the O_TMPFILE bits in?  

Cheers,

Michael
