+
+mbind.2

+
+mremap.2
+    mtk
+        Clarified the description of MREMAP_FIXED and restructured
+        the text to reflect the fact that this flag is exposed
+        by glibc since version 2.4.
+
+ptrace.2
+    Chuck Ebbert, with assistance from Daniel Jacobowitz, 
+    Paolo (Blaisorblade) Giarrusso, and Charles P. Wright;
+    after a suggestion from Heiko Carstens.
+        Document the following ptrace requests: 
+            PTRACE_SETOPTIONS (2.4.6)

+sched_setscheduler.2
+sched_setparam.2
+    mtk, Ingo Molnar
+        Modified to document SCHED_BATCH policy, new in kernel 2.6.16.
+
+        Text describing SCHED_BATCH was added to sched_setscheduler.2,
+        and was drawn in part from Ingo Molnar's description in the
+        mail message containing the patch that implemented this policy.
+
+        Various other minor rewordings and formatting fixes.
+
+proc.5
+    mtk, using text from Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt
+        Document /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, new in kernel 2.6.16.
+    mtk, using information from ChangeLog-2.6.14.
+        Document /proc/PID/smaps, new in kernel 2.6.14.
+
+capabilities.7
+    mtk
+        Noted affect of CAP_SYS_NICE for mbind(MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL).
+
+pthreads.7
+    mtk
+        Kernel 2.6.16 eliminated buggy behaviour with respect to
+        the alternate signal stack.
