NOMMU: Ignore mmap() address param as it is a hint
Ignore the address parameter given to NOMMU mmap() as it is a hint, rather than giving an error if it's non-zero. MAP_FIXED still gets an error. Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
