description:
- Explicitly describe that kvm(3) is used when -M/-N option is used since
  nowadays sysctl(3) is the default information retrieval method.
- Fix description about default value for -N; it is no longer a single value
  these days, so just say see kvm_openfiles(3) rahter than repeating
  several lines description here.
