On parisc we have
#define MAP_SHARED 0x01 /* Share changes */
#define MAP_PRIVATE 0x02 /* Changes are private */
#define MAP_TYPE 0x03 /* Mask for type of mapping */
#define MAP_FIXED 0x04 /* Interpret addr exactly */
#define MAP_ANONYMOUS 0x10 /* don't use a file */
So, if you need a MAP_DIRECT, wouldn't e.g.
#define MAP_DIRECT 0x08
be possible (for parisc, and others 0x04).
And if MAP_TYPE needs to include this flag on parisc:
#define MAP_TYPE (0x03 | 0x08) /* Mask for type of mapping */
