Some environments strictly enforce the semantics of mmap(), namely a successful
return value need not equal the requested address unless MAP_FIXED,
even if the requested address is unmapped and otherwise available.
Unless MAP_FIXED, then it is legal to return any page range that is large enough.
Callers of the patched code were relying on getting actual fixed addresses
in the interval [0, 0x110000). In particular, this did not work under valgrind.
