Use madvise(MADV_SEQUENTIAL) to let the kernel optimise for our
straightforward sequential read pattern.

This slightly idealises the behaviour of clients with the aim of
measuring the kernel overhead of different workloads. This test focuses
on the cost of relocating batchbuffers.
A trace file is generated with an LD_PRELOAD intercept around
execbuffer, which we can then replay at our leisure. The replay replaces
the real buffers with a set of empty ones so the only thing that the
kernel has to do is parse the relocations. but without a real workload
we lose the impact of having to rewrite active buffers.
