Hmmm...  Seems one of my debugging patches had a work around for this - all it
did was #ifdef-out the first if-statement in do_mmap_private().  That, however,
prevents XIP.

Sadly, your patch doesn't completely fix the problem either.  The BUG in
add_nommu_region() barks.

Let me poke at it some more.
