Log:
  Implement an approximation of Linux MADV_DONTNEED semantics.

  Linux MADV_DONTNEED is not advisory: it has side effects for anonymous
  memory, and some system software depends on that.  In particular,
  MADV_DONTNEED causes anonymous pages to be discarded.  If the mapping is
  a private mapping of a named object then subsequent faults are to
  repopulate the range from that object, otherwise pages will be
  zero-filled.  For mappings of non-anonymous objects, Linux MADV_DONTNEED
  can be implemented in the same way as our MADV_DONTNEED.

  This implementation differs from Linux semantics in its handling of
  private mappings, inherited through fork(), of non-anonymous objects.
  After applying MADV_DONTNEED, subsequent faults will repopulate the
  mapping from the parent object rather than the root of the shadow chain.
