Subject: [PATCH 5 of 7] x86-64: don't check for map replacement
Date: Sun, 07 Sep 2008 15:21:17 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5c6de0fa4ee3a72a0ab5.1220826077@localhost> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <patchbomb.1220826072@localhost>

The check prevents flags on mappings from being changed, which is not
desireable.  There's no need to check for replacing a mapping, and
x86-32 does not do this check.
