Changes to individual pages

        Clarify that MS_NODIRATIME provides a subset of the

        http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119447727031225&w=2
        Rework the text describing the return value to be closer
        to the requirements of POSIX.1; move Linux details

        Add a warning about the -1 to -4095 bug which results
        in a 41 second window where the glibc wrapper will wrongly
        return -1 indicating an error.
