The server does indeed tell your browsers that it's a file of type
"application/x-troff-man", so it seems they're doing a reasonable
thing. You could try to persuade kernel.org to report another content
type, such as "text/plain", although there could be more specific
choices that fit. As a temporary fix (that will no doubt break other
sites), you could redefine the treatment of content type
"application/x-troff-man".
