9a0cabd9e4 Explain it is a negative offset that EINVAL may indicate. 
Now readers won't get an impression that pointing to beyond
the current end of file will result in EINVAL.

ef6dea1404 Back out previous commit. Even though statfs(2) can take a regular 
file as an argument, it may still fail for the same reasons that
open(2) can.

5b154abc54 Remove reference to ENOTDIR in the documented errors

85e8765b7e Clarify getfsstat(2) usage. 
The getfsstat(2) function expects a buffer and a count, and returns a count.

The confusing part is that the count it takes is a byte count, while the
return value is a count of the number of structures it has filled out.

Spell this out.
