Hmm, it turned out to be a problem on other architectures as well.
CCing more maintainers. For your reference, we are talking about
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171023082608.6167-1-mhocko@xxxxxxxxxx
which has broken architectures which do apply aligning on the mmap
address hint without MAP_FIXED applied. See below my proposed way
around this issue because I belive that the above patch is quite
valuable on its own to be dropped for all archs.
