|Thanks, Eric. I've updated the patch with your suggestions. The _advice_ argument is now a Symbol. On platforms that don't support posix_fadvise(2), the arguments are still sanity checked--hence the ugly ifdefs--but then we just return nil.

I am not against IO#advice, but you should at least open independent
ticket for it.  May I consider File::DIRECT request is withdrawn?
