    hppa: Drop old parisc-specific MADV_* constants
    
    The Linux kernel upstream commit 71bdea6f798b ("parisc: Align parisc
    MADV_XXX constants with all other architectures") dropped the
    parisc-specific MADV_* values in favour of the same constants as
    other architectures. In the same commit a wrapper was added which
    translates the old values to the standard MADV_* values to avoid
    breakage of existing programs.
    
    This upstream patch has been downported to all stable kernel trees as
    well.
    
    This patch now drops the parisc specific constants from glibc to
    allow newly compliled programs to use the standard MADV_* constants.
    
    v2: Added NEWS section, based on feedback from Florian Weimer

+* In the Linux kernel for the hppa/parisc architecture some of the
+  MADV_XXX constants were changed to have the same values as the other
+  architectures.  New programs compiled with this glibc version and which
