Could you pick a different error code which cannot also be caused by a
an unrelated, possibly temporary condition? Maybe EBUSY or EEXIST?
This would definitely help with application-based randomization of
mappings, and there, actual ENOMEM and this error would have to be
handled differently.
Thanks,
