Does sys_mmap() reject unknown flag values today? I'm either not
looking in the right place or it's missing and we'll need some
interface/mechanism to check if MAP_SYNC is honored.

It doesn't seem to reject unknown flags.

The lack of flags checking strikes back once more, sighṫ.

How about MAP_SYNC == (MAP_SHARED|MAP_PRIVATE)? On older kernels that
should get -EINVAL, and on new kernels it means SYNC+SHARED.
