Fortunately, I most of the "simple" file systems appear to support
mmap, via generic_file_mmap:

% git grep generic_file_mmap | grep ^fs | awk -F/ '{print $2}' | uniq | xargs echo

9p adfs affs afs bfs ecryptfs exfat ext2 fat fuse hfs hfsplus hostfs
hpfs jfs minix nfs ntfs ntfs3 omfs ramfs reiserfs smb sysv ubifs ufs
vboxsf
