Often we are mmap()ing read-only. In those cases, it is wasteful to map in
copy-on-write mode. Even worse: it can cause errors where we run out of
space in the page file.
So let's be extra careful to map files in read-only mode whenever
possible.

As long as we use this implementation with MAP_PRIVATE, PAGE_WRITECOPY
is the right setting. Should we insert a check for MAP_PRIVATE to catch
unexpected use-cases (think of the index-helper daemon effort)?

Same here: FILE_MAP_COPY is the right choice for MAP_SHARED mmaps.

Except for these mental notes, I've no comments on this series. Looks good.
