With Linux 6.19, userland will be able to request a delegation on a file
or directory.  These new objects act a lot like file leases, but are
based on NFSv4 file and directory delegations.

Add new F_GETDELEG and F_SETDELEG manpages to document them.

+.SH NOTES
+Delegations were designed to implement NFSv4 delegations for the Linux NFS server.

Do we have a link to the NFSv4 specification of delegations?  It could
be useful, I think.  What do you think?

This all looks great to me. Did you need me to make any other changes?

The only remaining doubt is the question above.

Thanks for doing the cleanup! FWIW:
