One point regarding this one. By doing so, we're hard-coding the fact that we consider that MAP_FAILED is always -1. I'm not necessarily against it, but this implication can be confusing for those searching where it's being set. I would suggest putting a comment before the mmap() function saying:
/* Note that on Linux MAP_FAILED is -1 so we can use the generic __sysret() * which returns -1 upon error and still satisfy user land that checks for * MAP_FAILED. */
Since it's an assumed choice that theoretically could affect portability, it should be reflected in the commit message as well (and we all know it does not have any impact).
Thanks! Willy
