inconsistency in definition of POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED on ia64

I'm curious as to the correct defintion of the constant
POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED. In glibc-2.2.4, 2.2.5, and 2.3.2-11.9 the value of
this constant is defined as 6:
./sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/ia64/bits/fcntl.h:
# define POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED 6 /* Don't need these pages. */
Whereas if I look in fadvise.h in linux-2.5.64, patched for ia64, we get
a value of 4. Most other architectures define this as 4 as well (in
glibc).
Anyone have any insight as to whether the value as stated for glibc is
the preferred value for ia64, and that the kernel is just incorrect?
Thanks.
