- *           unaligned_mmap
- *
- * Linux kernels before 2.4.x can support non page-aligned offsets, as
- * long as the offset is aligned to the filesystem block size. This is
- * a big performance gain so we want to take advantage of it.
- *
- * However, when we use 64-bit file support this doesn't work because
- * glibc rejects unaligned offsets. Also glibc 2.1.3 mmap64 is broken
- * in that it rounds unaligned offsets down to a page boundary. For
- * these reasons we do a direct system call here.
