I agree with Jilles. It's easier to introduce namespace pollution than
it is to get rid of it afterwards. If the function is called
posix_fadvise(), people should just use that.

People are constantly complaining about `Linuxisms' when they want to
port software to FreeBSD. The word `BSDism' should remain an euphemism.
