Subject: Re: [PATCH 1/2] fs, elf: drop MAP_FIXED usage from elf_map

Hi Michal,

Earlier I posted a patchset to clean up these in a different way, but
patches sent to your below mail address are all rejected.

Here we will still take the map total, then unmap the rest way.

I am wondering why we don't fix those issues we figured out, but add 
another level of wrapper elf_vm_mmap() to hack it. So we will have
elf_map() -> elf_vm_mmap() -> vm_mmap(), not even counting
vm_mmap_pgoff(), then finally enter into do_mmap_pgoff(), to do the
maping for elf program.

Thanks
Baoquan
