I have carefully tested your patch on qemu with sv57. A bug that needs
to be solved is that mmap with the same hint address without MAP_FIXED
set will fail the second time.

Userspace code to reproduce the bug:

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>

void test(char *addr) {
    char *res = mmap(addr, 4096, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS
| MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
    printf("hint %p got %p.\n", addr, res);
}

int main (void) {
    test(1<<30);
    test(1<<30);
    test(1<<30);
    return 0;
}

output:

hint 0x40000000 got 0x40000000.
hint 0x40000000 got 0xffffffffffffffff.
hint 0x40000000 got 0xffffffffffffffff.

output on x86:

hint 0x40000000 got 0x40000000.
hint 0x40000000 got 0x7f9171363000.
hint 0x40000000 got 0x7f9171362000.

It may need to implement a special arch_get_unmapped_area and
arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown function.
