If we do anything about this, I'd just say "systems that have posix_fadvise()". If we write something more specific it's likely to become obsolete, and it doesn't seem to me that it's hard for someone to research "does my box have posix_fadvise()?
Imagine a person that wants to write a program which will cover creating the table space.
Such person needs to cover the appropriate fields with possible values.
Is there a #define such person should check to cover the appropriate values?
