Comment (by vdukhovni):

 I found the OSMem.c code a bit of an `#ifdef` maze. The latest patch
 attached should improve clarity, by better separating the logic from CPP
 conditionals.  One side-effect is that `madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)` will now
 be called on `COMMIT` not only for Linux, but also for FreeBSD and other
 non-Darwin `mmap()` API platforms. Will test this shortly...
