Here's mine, with current -linus bk:

40000000-40001000 ---p 40000000 00:00 0

main()
{
	char *p0 = 0;
	char *p1 = (char *)-1;
	char *p2;
	int err;

	p2 = mmap(0, 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, 0, 0);

	printf("p2=%p\n", p2);
	printf("pid=%d\n", getpid());

	getchar();

	errno = 0;
	err = access(p0, R_OK);
	printf("access 0 ptr %p return code %d errno %d\n", p0, err, errno);
	perror("access result:");
	errno = 0;
	err = access(p1, R_OK);
	printf("access 1 ptr %p return code %d errno %d\n", p1, err, errno);
	perror("access result:");
	errno = 0;
	err = access(p2, R_OK);
	printf("access 2 ptr %p return code %d errno %d\n", p2, err, errno);
	perror("access result:");
}

vmm:/home/akpm> ./x
p2=0x40000000
pid=2038

access 0 ptr (nil) return code -1 errno 14
access result:: Bad address
access 1 ptr 0xffffffff return code -1 errno 14
access result:: Bad address
access 2 ptr 0x40000000 return code -1 errno 14
access result:: Bad address

I get this result on both p4 xeon and p3 xeon.
