Subject: tools/testing/vma: add test to assert MAP_PRIVATE-/dev/zero is anon
Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2026 12:23:42 +0100

Now we've made MAP_PRIVATE-mapped /dev/zero mappings truly anonymous, add
a VMA userland test to assert that this is the case and everything is as
we would expect for an anonymous mapping.
