I mean to ignore/expect the MAP_FAILED return from mmap and terminate
gracefully.


In case MAP_FAILED is currently the expected return value on all architectures, then this should be expected by the test. When will there be a proper mmap() implementation exist? What is a proper mmap() implementation for RTEMS at all?

I used mmap() on some GUI library to speed up the font initialization and simply mapped read-only font files (IMFS memfiles) via mmap(). It would be good to gather some use cases. I think Qt uses also mmap() for font files.
