>Description:
The Linux executable of the InstallJammer multiplatform GUI installer
program (http://www.installjammer.com/) fails to start on a recent
8-STABLE (amd64). A second system with an 8-STABLE kernel built with 
sources from January runs the program just fine.

Log messages of a debug-enabled linux.ko:
May 19 11:39:40 tom kernel: linux(24917): mmap(0x00c55000, 4096, 7, 0x00000032, -1, 12931072)
May 19 11:39:40 tom kernel: -> linux_mmap_common(0xc55000, 4096, 7, 0x00001012, -1, 0xc55000)
May 19 11:39:40 tom kernel: -> linux_mmap_common() return: 0x16 (0x00000000)

It appears that the program calls mmap() with MAP_ANON and an 
offset!=0. Reverting the changes in this MFC
   http://svn.freebsd.org/viewvc/base?view=revision&revision=206602
lets me run the program without problems.
