This is partly why I'd like a separate interface, but on the other hand
it's also something that we can really easily do just with a normal mmap:
the "get_unmapped_area()" thing is very much designed to allow us to have
a policy on how to align things (right now it doesn't).
We can't drop the vma and re-allocate it, that would just break all
interfaces too much.
