This series fixes the fallback of the top-down mmap: in case of

Lots of architectures and even mm code start this fallback
at TASK_UNMAPPED_BASE, which is useless since the top-down scheme
already failed on the whole address space: instead, simply use
mmap_base.
Along the way, it allows to get rid of of mmap_legacy_base and
mmap_compat_legacy_base from mm_struct.
Note that arm and mips already implement this behaviour.

Any thoughts about that series ? As said before, this is just a preparatory patchset in order to
merge x86 mmap top down code with the generic version.
I just tested your patch series successfully on the parisc
architeture. You may add:
Tested-by: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> # parisc
Thanks!
