See <http://www.isi.edu/~johnh/SOFTWARE/APACHE/index.html> for an example
mmap patch against 1.0.5 and some discussion. Also consider that the web
caching folks (and my own observations) tell us that most files are 6k.
That makes it a low priority on the List.

It would be easy to make a mod_mmap which has a */* handler. If someone
has the time/inclination to do so I'd love to see it. I've got way too
much on my List right now though.
