I have sent a patch removing proc-self-map-files-002 AND making 001 to use as a
HINT for mmap (MAP_FIXED) *at least*  *(2 * PAGE_SIZE), which would, likely,
attend all  architectures, avoiding trying to make the test specific to one,
and, still, test the symlinks for issues (like bad chars, spaces, so on).

Both tests (001 and 002) have pretty much the same code, while they could have 2
tests in a single code, using kselftest framework. Is NULL hint + MAP_FIXED
something imperative for this test ? Why not to have all in a single test ? Are
you keeping the NULL hint just to test mmap, apart" from the core of this test ?

Sorry to insist.. If you want to keep it like this, I can create a similar test
in LTP - for the symlinks only, which seem important - and blacklist this one in
our function tests kselftest list (https://lkft.linaro.org/), then no change is
needed on your side.

Thanks
