Yeah but these days self tests try to target smaller functional
tests which can run quickly and validate something, hence thought
this may be appropriate as a self test.

Sure, will do that.

Right, missed that. My bad.

Even without your patch, the data in the new mapping still does
not match the original one. Anyway, will accommodate private
anon mapping as well.
