mmap() offset should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE. The function test_super() 
is able to set "start" to PAD_SIZE (=512). It does not seem correct.

on failed mmap() it tries to use open+read to get "buf" and it reads
it from the begin of the file. It seems incompatible with mmap() now.
I guess we need seek(start) there too.
