Given we assert the requested address matches what we asked we should
also make that clear in the mmap flags. Otherwise we see failures in
the GitLab environment for some currently unknown but allowable
reason. We use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE if we can so we don't just clobber
an existing mapping. Also include the strerror string for a bit more
info on failure.

  - use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE instead
  - also dump strerror
