This syscall is madvise64_64 which is not implemented by qemu indeed
but should not affect anything, as it is only a hint for the memory

That's what I can confirm here as well.

At least it is a huge improvement compared with the wheezy version

Tagging as confirmed+upstream, but please don't expect high
