----------------------------------+-----------------------------------------
 I propose to add an additional optional parameter "flags" to the
 mapped_region constructor. The parameter could be used by users to specify
 custom platform-specific flags for mapping operation (e.g. MAP_HUGETLB on
 Linux to map huge pages). These flags would be ORed with the flags the
 constructor body deduces. By default the constructor behavior should be
 the same as before.
