let me see if I got this right.. the premise for this test is to have *at least*
2 vmas, so we can check if the symlink for the mem range, describing the mapped
area, is correct in procfs files, correct ? if yes, then why to have a totally
duplicated test... just to check if mmap(0, ... MAP_FIXED ...) would work ?

Wouldn't exist a better place to have such test ? like in
tools/testing/selftests/vm/mmap-null.c or something like it ?  genuine
curiosity.. thinking i'm missing something about this test...
