That's certainly not true. For instance we have the mmap_fixed hack
for Solaris and BSD, that is surely a lot uglier than the Linux memory
reservation thing, yet it got in.

Yes, sometimes there is no choice but to do things the ugly way, and
in that case ugly stuff can get in. All you need to do is to convince
me that there is no better solution. Whether it's on Solaris or Linux
doesn't make any difference; there are tons of ugly hacks that have
been rejected on Linux too.
