From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> In order to change the layout of the page tables after an mmap has crossed the adress space limit of the current page table layout a architecture hook in get_unmapped_area is needed. The arguments are the address of the new mapping and the length of it.
