Currently procfs is a hard requirement. So I would leave 'has_proc' to
the other series that may change this.

I think task of nolibc-test is to test the code in nolibc itself.
The custom mmap implementation is trivial and directly calls the
syscall. These additionally proposed tests would effectively test the
core kernels implementation of mmap() and not the code of nolibc.

Therefore I don't think they are necessary in nolibc-test and the
functionality is hopefully already be tested in another testsuite.


Note:

Testing mmap is indeed useful to test the implementation of
my_syscall6() by providing a bogus value in the 'offset' parameter.
I think we do have such a testcase.
