This function seems a little confused about whether 'flags' is really a
bitmap of flags, or whether it is equal to exactly one entry in the enum.
Given that I think it's sensible for somebody to specify 'MEMREMAP_RO |
MEMREMAP_WT', then we probably need to start checking these things a bit
more thoroughly so we can reject unsupported combinations at the very least.
