(trunk) remove the test for fallocate(), since we used posix_fallocate() as a fallback anyway. <http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=332> says: "Glibc does have posix_fallocate(), which implements the POSIX interface. posix_fallocate() is wired to use the fallocate system call, for sufficiently modern versions of glibc."
