The problem is that v4l2_mmap (in lib/include/libv4l2.h) uses int64_t.
So the function pointer uses int64_t as well as does test_mmap.

I don't see how the current v4l-utils tree can cause a compile error.

For the record, I know you can't assign mmap to fd->mmap, you would
have to make a wrapper. Unfortunately mmap and v4l2_mmap do not have
the same prototype and I had to pick one (I'm not sure why they don't
use the same prototype).

Most applications would typically have to use v4l2_mmap, so I went with
that one.
