That is a good point: If the implementation matches the mmap() behavior rather
than
mmap2(), we should rename the macro by doing
#undef __NR_mmap2
#define __NR_mmap 222
in the uapi/asm/unistd.h file for ilp32 mode. Alternatively we can keep the
__NR_mmap2 definition but then we need to pass the pgoff (value shifted by
12 bits) argument rather than the size in bytes.
