Okay. After this series is merged, let's try to remove flags we can
do. Then, other guys
might suggest another ideas.

Agreed. I would like more VM_ARCH while at it :-)

Currently I see here four architecture-specific flags =)

            VM_ARCH_1       VM_ARCH_2       VM_ARCH_3       VM_ARCH_4
    x86     VM_NOHUGEPAGE   VM_HUGEPAGE     -               VM_PFN_AT_MMAP
    powerpc -               -               VM_SAO          -
    parisc  VM_GROWSUP      -               -               -
    ia64    VM_GROWSUP      -               -               -
    nommu   -               VM_MAPPED_COPY  -               -

Obviously we can combine VM_PFN_AT_MMAP, VM_SAO, VM_GROWSUP and VM_MAPPED_COPY into one.
