Hrm. I recall measuring this a while ago and finding some difference in
the page fault counts, but I cannot replicate that now (even after
fixing my patch to not call mmap twice). I'd say you can discard this patch.

This also has no effect:
posix_fadvise(fd, 0, fd_stat->st_size, POSIX_FADV_WILLNEED))
Looks like whatever effect I measured has disappeared in more recent
kernels.
