Also keep in mind that solaris is open source these days. If someone
wants it they could always go ahead and add the feature ...

While we could build an

than OS-specific code), I don't see an easy win in any case.
When building an abstract interface, always use at least two
implementations (I guess that would be fadvise on linux and AIO on
solaris in this case). You are much more likely to get the interface
right this way.
I agree, I just wasn't sure as to whether Greg's patch supported
both methods.
It does not, and probably will not for the near future; we can only
hope Solaris suports posix_fadvise() at some point.
