Note that arm and mips already implement this behaviour.

Any thoughts about that series ? As said before, this is just a 
preparatory patchset in order to

merge x86 mmap top down code with the generic version.


I just tested your patch series successfully on the parisc
architeture. You may add:

Tested-by: Helge Deller  # parisc


Thanks again Helge !

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

This is just a preparatory series for the merging of x86 mmap top-down 
functions with
the generic ones (those should get into v5.3), if you could take some 
time to take a look,

that would be great :)

Thanks,

Alex
