The mmap syscall suffers from the ABI anti-pattern of not validating
unknown flags. However, proposals like MAP_SYNC and MAP_DIRECT need a
mechanism to define new behavior that is known to fail on older kernels
without the feature. Use the fact that specifying MAP_SHARED and
MAP_PRIVATE at the same time is invalid as a cute hack to allow a new
set of validated flags to be introduced.
This also introduces the ->fmmap() file operation that is ->mmap() plus
flags. Each ->fmmap() implementation must fail requests when a locally
unsupported flag is specified.
