From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Since proper support requires that the arch at the very least handles
VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, as in next patch (otherwise the arch may BUG), and things
are even more complex (see next patches), and it's triggerable only with
VM_NONUNIFORM vma's, simply refuse creating them if the arch doesn't declare
itself ready.
This is a very temporary hack, so I've clearly marked it as such. And, with
current rythms, I've given about 6 months for arches to get ready. Reducing
this time is perfectly ok for me.

+What: __ARCH_SUPPORTS_VM_NONUNIFORM

+ Since they may BUG if this support is not added, the syscall code
+ refuses this new operation mode unless the arch declares itself as
+ "VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV-aware" with this macro.
