I think PVMMAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE should be included from the start too. It
seems like providing the "do not overwrite existing remote mapping"
from the start would be good. :)

whitespace damage? Also, I think this should be:

if (dst_mm->map_count >= sysctl_max_map_count - 2) ...

Are these various checks from other places? I see simliar things in
vma_to_resize(). Should these be collected in a single helper for common
checks in various places?

And obviously add MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE here too...

And PVMMAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE here...

Looks pretty interesting. I do wonder about "ATTACH" being a sufficient
description of this feature. "Give me your VMA" and "take this VMA"
is quite a bit stronger than "give me a copy of that memory" and "I
will write to your memory" in the sense that memory content changes are
now happening directly instead of through syscalls. But it's not much
different from regular shared memory, so, I guess it's fine? :)
