The locally defined versions of both sync_file_range and fallocate are broken
on 32bit systems. On these systems two 32bit registers are needed for each
64bit parameter. Also, sync_file_range on MIPS32 needs a dummy parameters
after the fd parameter. Just leave all these subtleties to the C library.
