You can force the memory to be accessed e.g. like this:

   for (i = 0; ... )
      *((volatile int *)address + i;



If the system has madvise you probably get the requested functionality
with madvise(address, size, MADV_WILLNEED).



Aha! Yes, I had thought there was a function that did that. Thanks for the reminder, Mark.
