Subject: Potential DL_NOMMU_SUPPORT bug.

Hi,

I was trying a DL_NOMMU_SUPPORT build so I could load binaries from the
sdcard on an android device. I managed to succeed but only after making a
mod which I later realised might apply beyond my application.

The mmap_fixed() function would return as if successful even when mmap()
call had failed

Hopefully the link and the patch below help.

Regards
Andrew
