Instead we use all italics. See man-pages(7): Expressions, if not written on a separate indented line, should be specified in italics.

Yes, I meant that.
If so, to be consistent with the other note, perhaps best to break this into a phrase such as: --8<--- .BR madvise () called with zero for both .IR addr and .IR length will return zero iff .I advice is supported by the kernel and can be relied on to probe for support. --8<---
I think the C expression was more readable. Cheers, Alex
Thanks, Zach
