It also hopefully does the right merging for the anon mappings for mmap,
mremap and mprotect in all the cases (I got some mremap bit from Ben's
patch). It's still very early work so don't apply it in any production
box but it works for me so far (running kde pre-2.9 over it, konqueror,
mutt, emacs, and some test programs and found no problems yet). I also
included it under the name of 70_mmap-rb-3 in the 2.4.9aa1 patchkit but
please make sure to back it out from the patchkit before doing any
production work. It needs to be tested better and it also needs to be
benchmarked carefully (should be a speed improvement).
against 2.4.9 vanilla:
