a verb for doing what madvise(...JEMALLOC_PURGE_MADVISE) does

[Bradley C. Kuszmaul]

When writing about malloc, I often need a verb to describe what
madvise(...,MADV_DONTNEED) does on linux (and what MADV_FREE does on BSD).

Is "purge" the right verb?  Is "purge" used for other things in the
mallocation world?

Any help to make my writing clearer would be appreciated!
