Yes, and hopefully we can clearly frame what MEMORY MAPPING is supposed 
to contain. I tried to tackle it with "/proc/self/maps output", but 
that's probably not the complete story.

For example, maybe mbind() should, for example, at some point be 
separated out into into mbind.c (making use of mempolicy.c 
functionality?) and covered there as well? I really don't know, maybe 
it's not one of the mmap/munmap/mprotect/mremap/mseal/mlock gang after all.
