Re: [PATCH] MM: implement MADV_FREE lazy freeing of anonymous memory

It's trivial to merge the MADV_FREE #defines into the kernel
though, and aliasing MADV_FREE to MADV_DONTNEED for the time
being is a one-liner - just an extra constant into the big
switch statement in sys_madvise().

Until the semantics of the implementation is cut into stone by having it in the kernel I'll not start using it.
