It seemed to me (and I am prepared to be wrong) that posix_fadvise64 is
a Linux only thing and the real official name is fadvise64 (although man
fadvise64 on Linux claims that it's either fadvise64_64 or
sys_fadvise64). Given that Solaris doesn't have fadvise, I'll make this
conditional on being built on linux and use posix_fadvise64 directly.
