[PATCH] Use madvise in glibc


Hi,

One of our gcc developers made a patch for glibc to use madvise to
tell the kernel that the loaded libraries are expected to be needed
in the near future.
After this, I got a lot of requests from people, who think that this
feature needs to go upstream.

I have attached the patch for discussion.
