My main motivation is global data, so normal arrays are the most
important for me. If anyone has any performance-driven use cases, we
can extend others as well, if possible. Not all maps can be easily
mmap()'ed just due to nature of their data. E.g., it's hard to imagine
how hashmap can be mapped. But doing per-cpu arrays should be doable
with good kernel-userspace memory layout "contract".
