This must be a configure option. I am pretty sure most embedded people
don't require this feature.

The kernel side of things is merged upstream I presume? (We generally
only want to support stuff in our code that is merged upstream itself)

Please use proper strings for this. (see my earlier mail)

This is a Fedoraism. Please introduce a proper configuration file for this.

We tend to do "< 0" instead of "== -1" checks for syscall
failures. Might be good to use the same here, but this is not necessary
for getting this merged.

We tend to add O_CLOEXEC to all fds we open, just for being
paranoid. Please do so here, too, to avoid surprise and avoid exceptions
when people grep for all open() invocations looking for O_CLOEXEC.

Consider using %m instead of %s and strerror(errno).

Also O_CLOEXEC please.

mmap() returns MAP_FAILED (i.e. (void) -1) on failure, not NULL. This
check needs to be fixed.

It might make sense to use loop_write() here instead, which does more or
less this loop, and is defined in util.c anyway.

Otherwise looks good.
