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

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.

For uapi, need try to let all macros have same value, and MADV_FREE is
added into main branch recently, so need redefine MADV_FREE for it.

At present, '8' can be shared with all architectures, so redefine it to
'8'.

OK, thanks.

Originally I sent the same patch like you sent (but later than yours).
Geert suggested to use same value for MADV_FREE, and Carlos confirmed
it and suggested more things (sorry, I forgot to Cc them in this mail).
