v2 Forward

Changes from v1[1]:

- All patches have seen some reformatting and/or typo corrections
  (Alex Colomar).
- Patch 3 has had the commit description reworded to reflect that this commit
  is a "fix" rather than an "update" (Alex Colomar).
- Rebased on man-pages-6.01

----------------------------------------------

Hey Alex / Michael,

This series adds MADV_COLLAPSE (expected for Linux 6.1) documentation to
madvise(2) and process_madvise(2).  A few prerequisite patches are included to
fix up existing MADV_HUGEPAGE and process_madvise(2) documentation, as well as
add some additional clarity for madvise(2) "advice" probing.

Series applies on man-pages-6.00, and I've attempted to use semantic newlines,
though I can't claim I've made the right choices everywhere for long clauses.

Thanks,
Zach

Zach O'Keefe (4):
  madvise.2: update THP file/shmem documentation for +5.4
  madvise.2: document reliable probe for advice support
  process_madvise.2: CAP_SYS_ADMIN cleanup
  madvise.2: add documentation for MADV_COLLAPSE
