Why MAP_ANON instead of MAP_ANONYMOUS.  The latter is more clear and you
don't have to care about compatibility like C does.

Also, does MAP_FIXED or MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE is passed to `flags' if
`(not (eq? addr %null-pointer))'?

What's the difference with `mmap'?

I assume that this map the entire file at offset 0 with PROT_READ?  In
that case, is it with MAP_SHARED or MAP_PRIVATE?  I think it's important
to mentioned this point.
