The advices are almost always exclusive of one another, and while POSIX
does not define madvise, most other unix-like and *BSD systems also only
accept a singular value per call.
This allows userspace to trigger a full (FIXME) flush of a shared file
mapping to disk. We iterate over all the mapped pages in the VMObject
and write them out to the underlying inode, one by one. This is rather
naive, and there's lots of room for improvement.
Note that shared file mappings are currently not possible since mmap()
returns ENOTSUP for PROT_WRITE+MAP_SHARED. That restriction will be
removed in a subsequent commit. :^)
Looking at how these two constants are commonly used in other systems,
we should be able to mimic their behavior using our PT_PEEK constant.
For example, see:

This patch begins the work of sharing types and macros between Kernel
and LibC instead of duplicating them via the kludge in UnixTypes.h.
The basic idea is that the Kernel vends various POSIX headers via
Kernel/API/POSIX/ and LibC simply #include's them to get the macros.
