Well, my patch was just something quick to get the kernel to build, but
thinking about it a bit, I still prefer it. The CONFIG_MMU check is in
security.h already so I think it is less clutter and better for future
code which may use mmap_min_addr. In any case, the compiler will drop
any test for "x < 0UL" so the end result is the same.
