That makes sense, regular linux mmap seems to expect the offset to be in
bytes (from linux's mmap):

	ret = do_mmap_pgoff(file, addr, len, prot, flag, offset >> PAGE_SHIFT);

Where linux's mmap2 does this:

	error = do_mmap_pgoff(file, addr, len, prot, flags, pgoff);

so this looks to me like do_mmap_pgoff expects a page-aligned offset,
meaning that the difference between a regular linux mmap, and linux's
mmap2 is that mmap expects bytes, and mmap2 expects a page offset
instead...


even more is that linux's old_mmap (the one that we actually emulate in
linux_mmap(), calls do_mmap2 with these args:

err = do_mmap2(a.addr, a.len, a.prot, a.flags, a.fd, a.offset >> PAGE_SHIFT);

so, I'll just do the ctob() and see what happens. :-)
