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.
