fallocate and fadvise was problematic in AIX because of a bug that presents at the time of 2014, which looks like resolved in 2016. I think we can safely re-enable those functions back. I've tested this patch on AIX 7.2 and it works, this patch will also require pre-testing of buildbots. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg1IV56170
