There is pre-existing logic that appears to be undocumented for an mremap()
shrink operation, where it turns out that the usual 'input range must span
a single mapping' requirement no longer applies.

In fact, it turns out that the input range specified by [old_address,
old_size) may span any number of mappings, as long old_address resides at
or within a mapping and [old_address, new_size) spans only a single
mapping.

Explicitly document this.
