Subject: [RFC] mm: Allow 64-bit mmap syscalls to access higher addresses.

For those curious about my usecase, I'm working on running some windows 64-bit driver code in context of any given process.  I accomplish this by mapping some of the fake kernel
bits in the target process, and running the code in a dedicated thread.
