Comment (by Gary Buhrmaster <gary.buhrmaster@…>):

 Since the only errors returned per the spec (which would only result in
 logs if running at the file debug level anyway) will occur with a
 programming error (bad fd, bad advise option specification), the logs
 would not be spammed (unless there is something else seriously broken in
 some new codes).  fadvise does not return an error if it simply decides to
 ignore the offset/sizes (it simple ignores the advise, and moves on), so
 logs would never be generated in those cases.
