afaik this update never happened?

Here's what I have at present:

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@...fujitsu.com>

Recently, it's argued that what proc/pid/maps shows is ugly when a 32bit
binary runs on 64bit host.

/proc/pid/maps outputs vma's pgoff member but vma->pgoff is of no use
information is the vma is for ANON.  With this patch, /proc/pid/maps shows
just 0 if no file backing store.
