How can adding glittler to /proc/<pid>/maps and /proc/<pid>/smaps

It's not just glitter, it's potentially very useful for making
perf work nicely with JVM, for example, to know about JIT
codegen regions and GC regions.

The implementation seems very heavy-weight though and I'm not
convinced a new syscall makes sense.
