Before commit 889b8f964f2f ("packet: Kill CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP.") there
used to be a CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP config symbol that depended on
CONFIG_PACKET. The text still refers to PACKET_MMAP as the name of this
feature, implying that it can be disabled. Another naming variant is
"Packet MMAP".

Use "PACKET mmap()" everywhere to unify the terminology. Rephrase the
text the implied mmap() feature disable option.
Should we maybe say AF_PACKET mmap() ?
I thought that PACKET is better because it is the minimal change, and
because of the reference to CONFIG_PACKET. Should we rename
CONFIG_PACKET to CONFIG_AF_PACKET as well?

What do you think?
