posix_fadvise() on ia64 and Alpha


Whoops did it again - trying the right address this time.

Hi,

Ray Bry pointed out to me that there is a disreprency between the
glibc ia64 (and I noticed Alpha as well) definitions of
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED and POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE compared to the kernel.

Anyone know if there is a deliberate reason for this or if it was a
mistake? I wont rule out that I blindly copied over the changes from
the Alpha back when I introduced the file, but it's been a while.

Anyway, for the case that it's unintentional, patch included (2.2),
should apply cleanly to 2.3 as well.

Cheers,
Jes
