Revision 49a43876b935c811cfd29d8fe998a6912a1cc5c4 authored by Linus Torvalds on 18 May 2005, 22:39:33 UTC, committed by Linus Torvalds on 19 May 2005, 14:46:36 UTC
Prevent the topdown allocator from allocating mmap areas all the way
down to address zero.

We still allow a MAP_FIXED mapping of page 0 (needed for various things,
ranging from Wine and DOSEMU to people who want to allow speculative
loads off a NULL pointer).

Tested by Chris Wright.
