Hi Michal,
1. The powerpc change, above, has one too many zeroes. It should be 0x80000,
not 0x800000.
2. For the one-line comments, if you phrase them like this:
/* Like MAP_FIXED, except that it doesn't unmap pre-existing mappings */
...I think that would be a little clearer.

Hooking in at this point is a nice way to solve the problem. :)
For the naming and implementation, I see a couple of things that might improve
it slightly:
a) Change MAP_FIXED_SAFE to MAP_NO_CLOBBER (as per Kees' idea), but keep the
new flag independent, by omitting the above two lines. Instead of forcing
MAP_FIXED as a result of the new flag, you could simply fail to take any action
on MAP_NO_CLOBBER *unless* MAP_FIXED is set.
This is a bit easier to explain and reason about, as compared to a flag that
auto-sets another flag. I like this approach best.
or
b) Change MAP_FIXED_SAFE to MAP_FIXED_NO_CLOBBER (also a variation on Kees' name
idea, but a little longer, a bit uglier, and clearer), and leave the implementation
the same.
thanks,
