If best performance was preferred, the O32 readahead and
sync_file_range should not changed and libc should provide MIPS
specific syscall wrappers, like pread64.  The N32 can also use
standard sys_readahead(), etc. and libc should provide wrappers, too.

Anyway fadvice64() needs to be fixed.

Any comments from libc side?  Original patch is here:
