Subject: [PATCH, RFD]: Unbreak no-mmu mmap

Here's a patch to move nommu mmap/munmap ever so slightly closer to mmu
behaviour.  The motivation for this is to be able to deselect uClibc's
UCLIBC_UCLINUX_BROKEN_MUNMAP config option, which speeds up malloc a
fair bit.  I'm interested in comments whether this is a good direction
to go.  The patch is against Linus' tree as of a few minutes ago.
