[PATCH] posix_fadvise for ppc32

These changes are based on the glibc code that handles ppc32.  This
probably shouldn't be in the common dir, but I am unfamiliar with how
to add code into the arch-specific dir. I am also unsure about the
proper symbol to use in the #ifdef; however, this patch worked for us.

It was tested on ia32, and ppc32, and all LTP tests passed. I should  
note, that our ppc machine has INTERNAL_SYSCALL defined, so I don't  
believe the other code paths were tested.

Suggestions for improvements are welcome.

This patch fixes posix_fadvise[64] function for ppc32, to send  
arguments of the proper size and in the proper order.
