eventfd.2, futex.2, mmap2.2, open.2, pciconfig_read.2, ptrace.2, reboot.2, request_key.2, sched_rr_get_interval.2, splice.2, stat.2, sync_file_range.2, syscalls.2, timer_create.2, vm86.2, pthread_attr_setscope.3, core.5, proc.5, aio.7, futex.7, netlink.7, time.7: Global fix: "userspace" ==> "user space" or "user-space"
Existing pages variously use "userspace or "user space".
But, "userspace" is not quite an English word.
So change "userspace" to "user space" or, when used
attributively, "user-space".
