The system call cannot generate EINPROGRESS, and furthermore, the
system call does not touch errno (it is one of the broken POSIX
innovations that returns an errno value instead) so something in the
rump plumbing must be doing it.
Does rump actually have a means for handling these broken syscalls
correctly, and if so, is posix_fadvise tagged appropriately?
It is bizarre that the behavior would depend on the nature of the
underlying hardware though.
