Current glibc implementation becomes broken for 64-bit off_t if
if I'll do what you want.
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/generic/wordsize-32/mmap.c
28 __ptr_t
29 __mmap (__ptr_t addr, size_t len, int prot, int flags, int fd, off_t offset)
30 {
31   if (offset & (MMAP_PAGE_UNIT - 1))
32     {
33       __set_errno (EINVAL);
34       return MAP_FAILED;
35     }
36   return (__ptr_t) INLINE_SYSCALL (mmap2, 6, addr, len, prot, flags, fd,
37                                    offset / MMAP_PAGE_UNIT);
38 }
39 
40 weak_alias (__mmap, mmap)

So it requires changes both in glibc and in kernel. I can do it. But
I'd like to collect opinions of kernel and glibc developers before
starting it.
