Re: [PATCH] arch: uapi: asm: mman.h: Let MADV_FREE have same value for all architectures

[Chen Gang]

Hello Andrew:

Could you help check this patch, when you have time. And apply it if
possible.

I guess, this patch is a little urgent, since it changes uapi, if wait
a little longer, more user mode programs (e.g. libc) may use MADV_FREE
as various values.

Thanks.
