Most distros do not include dosemu, and wine can
now use dosbox instead of mapping zero page.
We can instead add the process personality for this.
There is already a MMAP_PAGE_ZERO personality, but
it probably does something different.
Or can it be used? Can someone check?

I wouldn't count on this.
KVM includes an emulator for vm86 already, so the
intention was obviously not to include v86 support.
There are the evolving claims out there, that the jit codegen
can do better than v86, because it avoids the exceptions
that switch to monitor. dosemu is not quite there yet,
obviously, but...
