How about vma_file_tree_foreach() vs. vma_anon_tree_foreach()?  I found that
to be more descriptive (and it fits the users into a single line again ;).

SHARED vs. PRIVATE?

What's with expand_stack()?  This changes the radix index or the heap
index, depending on the direction in which the stack grows, but it
does not adjust the tree and so its order is violated.  Did you make
sure that this is fine?
