This use-case is not critical anymore since 64-bit systems are widely available. -The plan is to deprecate the syscall and replace it with an emulation. -The emulation will create new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings.

The +emulation creates new VMAs instead of nonlinear mappings. It's going to +work slower for rare users of remap_file_pages() but ABI is preserved. One side effect of emulation (apart from performance) is that user can hit vm.max_map_count limit more easily due to additional VMAs. See comment for |
