This may be a better fit in LTP where there are already several other
mremap tests. I honestly do not know the best place for such a test.

Why hardcode? You could use sysconf to get page size and use some
multiple of that.

Why hardcode 1? You really want the MREMAP_MAYMOVE flag. Right?

You may want to expand the test to make sure mremap(old_size == 0)
fails for private mappings. Of course, this assumes my proposed
patch gets in. Until then, it will succeed and create a new unrelated
mapping.
