OK, so this one should take care of the backward compatibility while
still not touching the arch code

commit 39ff9bf8597e79a032da0954aea1f0d77d137765

    mm: introduce MAP_FIXED_SAFE
    
    MAP_FIXED is used quite often but it is inherently dangerous because it
    unmaps an existing mapping covered by the requested range. While this
    might be might be really desidered behavior in many cases there are
    others which would rather see a failure than a silent memory corruption.
    Introduce a new MAP_FIXED_SAFE flag for mmap to achive this behavior.
    It is a MAP_FIXED extension with a single exception that it fails with
    ENOMEM if the requested address is already covered by an existing
    mapping. We still do rely on get_unmaped_area to handle all the arch
    specific MAP_FIXED treatment and check for a conflicting vma after it
    returns.
