2010-05-20	Add file:advise/4 - a wrapper to the POSIX syscall posix_fadvise	Filipe David Manana
	Useful for informing the Operating System about the access pattern for a file's data, so that it can adapt the caching strategy to maximize disk IO performance.
2010-05-20	Add file:datasync/1 for syncing file contents only	Filipe David Manana
	file:datasync/1 invokes the POSIX system call "int fdatasync(int fd)". This system call is similar to "fsync" but, unlike fsync, it does not update the metadata associated with the file (like the access time for example). It's used by many DBMSs (MySQL and SQLite of example) to increase disk IO performance, as it avoids disk seeks and disk write operations compared to fsync. More details on it at: http://linux.die.net/man/2/fdatasync An example, from the MySQL source: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mysql/mysql-server/mysql-5.1-telco-6.1/annotate/head%3A/mysys/my_sync.c#L61 This new function just calls fsync on systems not implementing fdatasync.
