mmap MAP_NORESERVE [was: endless overcommit thread]

I see that linux seems to implement the MAP_NORESERVE flag
for mmap() and mremap().

Is the _absence_ of MAP_NORESERVE honoured at all?
Seems to me that this overcommit-or-not question would be a
non-issue if non-MAP_NORESERVE mappings actually work.
