:So it works, then? GNU grep has this #ifdef'ed out, with a comment

Yes, it will work. Oops. I do see one problem though... if you do
this the underlying file object will be marked for sequential operation
even after the grep (in this case) exits. That is, an madvise() of
MADV_NORMAL, SEQUENTIAL, or RANDOM appears to have a permanent effect
on the object. This is probably not correct behavior. We could probably
fix this by moving this particular flag from the object to the vm_entry.
