/* There are a few hints one can provide, which have the
   following characteristics on Linux 2.6.31 at least.

   POSIX_FADV_SEQUENTIAL
     Doubles the size of read ahead done for file
   POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED
     _synchronously_ prepopulate the buffer cache with the file
   POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE
     Could lower priority of data in buffer caches,
     but currently does nothing.
   POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED
     Drop the file from cache.
     Note this is automatically done when files are unlinked.

   We use this enum "type" both to make it explicit that
   these options are mutually exclusive, and to discourage
   the passing of the possibly undefined POSIX_FADV_... values.
   Note we could #undef the POSIX_FADV_ values, but that would
   preclude using the posix_fadvise() function with its standard
   constants. Using posix_fadvise() might be required if the return
   value is needed, but it must be guarded by appropriate #ifdefs.  */
