For now make it only evict the specified data from the dbuf cache. Even though dbuf cache is small, this may still reduce eviction of more useful data from there, and slightly accelerate ARC evictions by making the blocks there evictable a bit sooner. On FreeBSD this also adds support for POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE, since the kernel translates it into POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED after every read/write. This is not as efficient as it could be for ZFS, but that is the only way FreeBSD kernel allows to handle POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE now.
