Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by
using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave
the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.
The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
meaning to it.

These header files are typically copied from an existing architecture
into any new one, slightly modified and then remain untouched until
the end of time in the name of ABI stability.
To make it easier for future architectures, provide a sane generic
version here. In cases where multiple architectures already use
identical code, I used the most common version. In cases like
stat.h that are more or less broken everywhere, I provide a
version that is meant to be ideal for new architectures.

The existing asm-generic versions are incomplete and included
by some architectures. New architectures should be able
to use a generic version, so rename the existing files and
change all users, which lets us add the new files.

Remove the last vestiges of the long-deprecated "MAP_ANON" page protection
flag: use "MAP_ANONYMOUS" instead.

Make new MADV_REMOVE, MADV_DONTFORK, MADV_DOFORK consistent across all
arches. The idea is to make it possible to use them portably even before
distros include them in libc headers.
Move common flags to asm-generic/mman.h
