1. Why is this in fs.h instead of pagemap.h?

2. Why is it not static, since it's only used by the syscall,
which is also in filemap.c?

I think this hunk should be:

-#include <asm/mman.h>
+#include <linux/mman.h>

(linux/mman.h includes uapi/linux/mman.h, which includes asm/mman.h)

Do we care that this isn't going to work for hugetlbfs?
