How about the following compromise: we get rid of the special casing
altogether and just always call generic_file_mmap. If the noMMU folks
want further optimisations, then they can inline generic_file_mmap(), so
that the compiler always takes the 'generic_file_mmap() failed' path.

NFS: Kill the "defined but not used" compile error on nommu machines

Bryan Wu reports that when compiling NFS on nommu machines he gets a
"defined but not used" error on nfs_file_mmap().

The easiest fix is simply to get rid of the special casing in NFS, and
just always call generic_file_mmap() to set up the file.
