v2 changes:
- Fix wordings as suggested [MikeR]
- convert ".BR" to ".B" where proper for the patchset [Alex]
- rearrange a few lines in the last two patches where they got messed up
- document more things, e.g. UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP; and also on how to resolve a
  wr-protect page fault.

There're two features missing in current manpage, namely:

  (1) Userfaultfd Thread-ID feature
  (2) Userfaultfd write protect mode

There's also a 3rd one which was just contributed from Axel - Axel, I think it
would be great if you can add that part too, probably after the whole
hugetlbfs/shmem minor mode reaches the linux master branch.
Ack, this is on my list of "todos". Agree it makes sense to wait until
the code is in Linus' tree, then I'll send a patch for the man pages.
Please review, thanks.
