Opted for .br and \[bu], .IP gets too tall and sparse and for my taste;
feel free to editorialise it to the .IP spelling tho.

Had it in NOTES because that's where tmpfs.5 has its
  In order for user-space tools and applications to create tmpfs
  filesystems, the kernel must be configured with the CONFIG_TMPFS
  option.

Moved to CONFIGURATION, you might want to move it in tmpfs.5 too.

Also applied, but note that tmpfs.5 also spells it "kernel" in both
equivalent hunks.

Too drunk to evaluate all of them rn, killed the one in filesystems.5.

Scissor-patch below.

Subject: [PATCH v2] filesystems.5, erofs.5: add erofs documentation,
 clean up indent

Modelled after tmpfs(5) ‒ there's a listing of mount options,
and a summary of limitations. The feature flags are described in
mkfs.erofs, and they're versioned and maintained upstream quite well
there, so no need to duplicate those, since you only care on image
creation.

The real value add is the mount options, but I cannot figure out
how device_id and fsid interact with the system at large,
so I just noted they're there.

State as of 6.3-rc5.

Also, remove explicit .TP indent in filesystems.5 since we're already
touching this hunk: all entries sans iso9660 and Reiserfs fall within
the default prevailing indent, so no need to specify a wide one.
