Hello Helge

The parisc gateway page currently only exports 3 functions:
The lws_entry for CAS operations (at 0xb0), the set_thread_pointer
function for usage in glibc (at 0xe0) and the linux syscall entry (at
0x100).

All other symbols in the manpage are internal labels and shouldn't be
used directly by userspace or glibc, so drop them from the man page
documentation.

SO after the comments from John, I decided to just apply your patch
as is. If you think something still needs to added, let me know.

Cheers,

Michael
