#define MADV_NORMAL 0 /* no further special treatment */
#define MADV_RANDOM 1 /* expect random page references */
#define MADV_SEQUENTIAL 2 /* expect sequential page references */
#define MADV_WILLNEED 3 /* will need these pages */
#define MADV_DONTNEED_COMPAT 4 /* for backward compatibility */
#define MADV_SPACEAVAIL 5 /* ensure resources are available */
#define MADV_DONTNEED 6 /* dont need these pages */
