I think that's a good idea. The function used to be slightly different
for each architecture, but now it seems we have a significant number
of identical implementations that we could just merge them together
into one.

sys_mmap_pgoff was originally introduced as the common implementation
and it reduced the amount of duplication a lot, but as its units
are based on PAGE_SIZE rather than hardwired 4096 bytes, it's
not as useful.

Looks good to me.
