Please ignore this patch.
I was wrong: kernel and glibc are in sync.

Nevertheless, maybe adjusting the parisc values to the default values in kernel and
glibe would make sense. Even if it's a ABI change, the impact of such a change is probably low
given the fact that those madvise values are hints.
