Hi Bob,

Currently on nommu arch mmap(),mremap() and munmap() doesn't do page_align()
which isn't consist with mmu arch and cause some issues.

First, some drivers' mmap() function depends on vma->vm_end - vma->start is
page aligned which is true on mmu arch but not on nommu. eg: uvc camera driver.

Second munmap() may return -EINVAL[split file] error in cases when end is not
page aligned(passed into from userspace) but vma->vm_end is aligned dure to
split or driver's mmap() ops.

This patch add page align to fix those issues.

This is actually causing me problems on head at the moment.
git bisected to this patch as the cause.

When booting on a ColdFire (m68knommu) target the init process (or
there abouts at least) fails. Last console messages are:

  ...
  VFS: Mounted root (romfs filesystem) readonly on device 31:0.
  Freeing unused kernel memory: 52k freed (0x401aa000 - 0x401b6000)
  Unable to mmap process text, errno 22

I haven't really debugged it any further yet. But that error message
comes from fs/binfmt_flat.c, it is reporting a failed do_mmap() call.

Reverting that this patch and no more problem.

Regards
Greg
