Comment(by Andy Schneider <andrew.schneider@…>):

 Another solution would be to separate out the mapping action from some
 'reserve virtual address range' function. That would allow you to reserve
 a virtual address range and then map a file into that without explicitly
 having an overlapping mmap exposed in the API. It'd solve one of the
 patterns for using overlapping mappings on Linux. It's not fully general
 though.
