MAP_FIXED is generally bad news, as it overwrites any prior mappings within
the range of addresses being mapped to.
They should use MAP_FIXED | MAP_EXCL instead, which will fail if any
mappings already exist in the range, and then maybe retry with another
range if it fails. Linux and NetBSD have MAP_TRYFIXED instead, which does
the retrying internally. Or at the very least, run mincore() on every page
in the range to verify that nothing is mapped before using mmap() with
MAP_FIXED.
If there is no other way but to use a single hardcoded value, check
/proc/<pid>/map for a number of different processes, 32 and 64 bit, and
find an address range that isn't used often.
