Actually ... we could have performed exactly the same magic for MMAP
to make the transition from the per_dir_conf context across to the brigade
dynamics. This would have eliminated the need to have a bucket flag
to support MMAP, since we already have this handy per-file flags entity
that is passed from the default_handler across to the core_output_filter.
