I don't know the memory layout strategies for all the Linux/Unix variant out there. But typically text/bss/data is in the lower address range (some megs above 0) and in the upper range (right under kernel space) there is space used for stack and shared objects. Even with ASLR the address I used in the patch should be mappable.
relying on any address layout behavior is doomed to fail. and in this case, it's unnecessary. so let's not bother.
Accepted but not convinced :-) As the address passed to mmap is only a hint it will not fail. But I will remove the hint in V2 of the patch.
