Subject: Re: [PATCH] lazy freeing of memory through MADV_FREE 2/2
Restore MADV_DONTNEED to its original Linux behaviour. This is still
not the same behaviour as POSIX, but applications may be depending on
the Linux behaviour already. Besides, glibc catches POSIX_MADV_DONTNEED
and makes sure nothing is done...

This is to be applied over of the original MADV_FREE patch.
It turns out that the current glibc patch already falls back
to MADV_DONTNEED if it gets an -EINVAL.
