That is nice, though I would add that if we're implying things that are
sensible to imply, it really also needs to add VM_NORESERVE too.
DROPPABLE doesn't make sense semantically without it.

Anyway, rather than adding PROT_xyz for v+1, I'll try adding this
MAP_DROPPABLE (or a different name for David) with the implications as
you've suggested.
