This still does not address the situation where a file is 'permanently'
mmap'd, does it?

So?  If application doesn't do msync, then the file times won't be
updated.  That's allowed by the standard, and so portable applications
will have to call msync.

It is allowed, but it is clearly not useful behaviour. Nowhere is it set
in stone that we should be implementing just the minimum allowed.
