[PATCH] Using MAP_SHARE_VALIDATE in mmap without fd

[Nils Hartmann <nils1hartmann@gmail.com>]

Hey,
I have a rather simple question about the MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE flag in mmap.
When used without a file pointer, EINVAL is returned. Is there a reason for this?
I researched a bit but could not find anything. I attached a simple patch that adds MAP_SHARE_VALIDATE to the flags switch and checks for invalid flags.
