Subject: [PATCH 0/3] simple mmap() cleanups

Hello.

Hopefully the simple cleanups, but need the authoritative acks.

I simply can't understand the VM_GROWS* check in mmap_region(),
did I miss something subtle? I will appreciate any review.

Can't resist. "(prot&PROT_WRITE) && !(file->f_mode&FMODE_WRITE)"
asks for the whitespace cleanup, but this will break the 80-col
rule. Perhaps we should relax it...

Oleg.
