10.0-RELEASE cycle.
- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]

mdoc: drop redundant .Pp and .LP calls

They have no effect when coming in pairs, or before .Bl/.Bd


# 203277 31-Jan-2010 ed

Allow mknod(8) to be only invoked with a pathname as an argument.

In 99% of the cases people just want to recreate device nodes they
removed from /dev. There is no reason to pass the additional "c 0 0"
anymore.

Also slightly improve the manpage. Remove references to non-existent
device names and platforms.

# 198714 31-Oct-2009 brueffer

The majors file was removed long ago, 0 should be used instead.

Refer people looking to figure out what major to use for a device to
MAKEDEV and sys/conf/majors, not sys/conf/device.<arch>, which has
never existed in the history of FreeBSD (well, at least it isn't in
the repository).

Spelling fix.


# 57668 01-Mar-2000 sheldonh

Remove single-space hard sentence breaks. These degrade the quality

bad examples for new-comers to mdoc.

I was porting something from sysV world and found our cross references
