This patchset is another spin of nommu mode addition to UML.  It doesn't
change a lot since the last version (v5), but contain clean ups.  It would
be nice to hear about your opinions on that.

There are still several limitations/issues which we already found;
here is the list of those issues.

- memory mapped by loadable modules are not distinguished from
  userspace memory.
