lseek(fd, addr, SEEK_DATA) adjust file offset to the start address of next VMA,
or to addr if this address is allocated.
lseek(fd, addr, SEEK_HOLE) adjust file offset to the end address of VMA which
addr belongs to, or to addr itself if there is hole.
This way SEEK_HOLE reports a virtual zero-length hole between each contiguous
VMAs. This hack seems completely legit and allows to simplify implementation
(there is no function for finding next hole in VMAs' tree, walking along
->vm_next might be expensive) This also gives more information about layout.

I have no practical use for this, just found this interesting.
