The new proposal is to implement POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE as a way to perform a real
drop-behind policy where applications can mark certain intervals of a file as
FADV_NOREUSE before accessing the data.
I think you and John need to talk to each other, please.  The amount of
duplication here is extraordinary.
Yea. Clearly there is much we can share. I'm still catching up from a
conference last week, so I've not had a chance to really look at this
yet, but its on my queue for this week.

thanks
