Subject: [PATCH #2.6.27-rc5] mmap: fix petty bug in anonymous shared mmap
 offset handling

Anonymous mappings should ignore offset but shared anonymous mapping
forgot to clear it and makes the following legit test program trigger
SIGBUS.

 #include <sys/mman.h>
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <errno.h>

 #define PAGE_SIZE	4096

 int main(void)
 {
	 char *p;
	 int i;

	 p = mmap(NULL, 2 * PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
		  MAP_SHARED|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, PAGE_SIZE);
	 if (p == MAP_FAILED) {
		 perror("mmap");
		 return 1;
	 }

	 for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
		 printf("page %d\n", i);
		 p[i * 4096] = i;
	 }
	 return 0;
 }

Fix it.
