man-pages really should be be their home. The only reason for
including them in IBM's SDK is that we (mostly me) were slow
about updating them for upstream inclusion.

I don't mind letting the SDK version of the man pages stay
on Jeremy's current version unless we find a major bug in them.
We should focus on getting them right in upstream only.

Eduardo's pages were based on the version from the kernel
documentation folder, unfortunately these are horribly outdated.
