It is believed that an implementation of madvise was available in
SunOS 4.0 based on text from the following papers.
"Two 4.2BSD system calls, madvise and mincore, remain unspecified,
madvise is intended to provide information to the system to influence
its management policies. Since a major rework of such policies was
deferred to a future release, we decided to defer full specification
and implementation of madvise until that time."

"Memory management related system calls based on the original 4.2BSD
specification that were implemented include mmap, munmap, mprotect,
madvise, and mincore."
