#10371: advise() missing from iostreams mapped_file API
------------------------------+--------------------------
 Reporter:  shao.lo@…         |      Owner:  turkanis
     Type:  Feature Requests  |     Status:  new
Milestone:  To Be Determined  |  Component:  iostreams
  Version:  Boost 1.56.0      |   Severity:  Optimization
 Keywords:                    |
------------------------------+--------------------------
 The memory mapped API in interprocess
 (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/boost/interprocess/mapped_region.hpp)
 provides advise() while the memory mapped API in iostreams
 (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_56_0/libs/iostreams/doc/classes/mapped_file.html)
 does not.

 The iostreams API is easier to use (allows creating and sizing during
 construction), but is missing the key feature that would allow kernel
 optimization of random access versus serial.
