At present, kernel supports madvise(MADV_FREE), so can benefit to all
related architectures (can grep MADV_WILLNEED or MADV_REMOVE in "arch/"
to know about all related architectures).
The related git commit: "4fb10ba mm: support madvise(MADV_FREE)".
The related error (with allmodconfig under parisc):
