In the bottom-up case mm->mmap_base is directly used instead of
arch_get_mmap_base so base will not be modified in that case. The math
here is confusing so I can refactor it. I like your suggestion to
extract out the rnd value of base with (base) - DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW since
base is defined as PAGE_ALIGN(STACK_TOP - gap - rnd) and STACK_TOP is
DEFAULT_MAP_WINDOW. This (-gap-rnd) value can then directly be used
instead of redoing the math in each if.

For both this comment and the one above, I think we should allow the
user to default back to sv38. I talked to Palmer and he would prefer
allowing selection of sv38. Since there is no overhead, there is no
need to prevent the user from doing so.
