David Hildenbrand a384bfa32e util/oslib-posix: Support MADV_POPULATE_WRITE for os_mem_prealloc()
Let's sense support and use it for preallocation. MADV_POPULATE_WRITE
does not require a SIGBUS handler, doesn't actually touch page content,
and avoids context switches; it is, therefore, faster and easier to handle
than our current approach.

While MADV_POPULATE_WRITE is, in general, faster than manual
prefaulting, and especially faster with 4k pages, there is still value in
prefaulting using multiple threads to speed up preallocation.

More details on MADV_POPULATE_WRITE can be found in the Linux commits
4ca9b3859dac ("mm/madvise: introduce MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) to prefault
page tables") and eb2faa513c24 ("mm/madvise: report SIGBUS as -EFAULT for
MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)"), and in the man page proposal [1].

This resolves the TODO in do_touch_pages().

In the future, we might want to look into using fallocate(), eventually
combined with MADV_POPULATE_READ, when dealing with shared file/fd
mappings and not caring about memory bindings.
