So I think it should still work, because we check for mmap_min_addr in the system 
call itself:

static long do_sys_vm86(struct vm86plus_struct __user *user_vm86, bool plus)
{
...
        err = security_mmap_addr(0);
        if (err) {
                /*

So if dosemu first tweaks mmap_min_addr, the syscall should succeed.

Thanks,

	Ingo
