I took a look at the code again and I dont really understand how the
particular case when we get a high address from the kernel while
mmap_min_addr is busy case is supposed to work :/
In fact, for CRIS it never works on my host.

I get a high address that doesnt fit, then the code tries to go back
to mmap_min_addr but if that was busy my kernel just returns the
same addr we got the first try and mmap_find_vma gives -1 due to
repeat.

I changed it locally to keep scanning after a wrap until we succeed to
allocate a chunk or rewrap (SLOW) but at least I can run dynamically
linked CRIS programs again.

Cheers
