Hi William,

I tested your madvise11 on various x86_64 VMs and it fails on two:

# ./madvise11 # Fedora 5.13.16-200.fc34.x86_64

I would not be too concerned about old SLE12-SP2 kernel, but at least failure on
relatively new Fedora 34 kernel would be good to fix.

Also adding .min_kver = "2.6.33" is IMHO not necessary, it's old enough
(LTP wouldn't be even compiled on such old kernel).

Kind regards,
Petr
