[RFC PATCH] Take mmap_min_addr into account while choosing unmapped address for x86-64.

From: Ilya Smith
Date: Mon Feb 26 2018 - 16:14:27 EST


It prevent situation when vm_unmapped_area chose address between
PAGE_SIZE and mmap_min_addr range. In this case mmap will fail with
EPERM without a good reason.

As test-case of such situation we may hard-code address between
PAGE_SIZE and 65536 inside unmapped_area_topdown function.
