    5. Anonymous memory is memory that is *not* backed by a file, such

       mapping files into memory, right? The why does mmap deal with
       anonymous memory (sorry, I'm totally confused here)?

mmap() needed very few extensions to handle the anonymous case.

 What are these extensions in mmap() that need to handle anonymous pages??
 Thanks a lot,
