Create a personality flag ADDR_LIMIT_47BIT to support applications that wish to transition from running in environments that support at most 47-bit VAs to environments that support larger VAs. This personality can be set to cause all allocations to be below the 47-bit boundary. Using MAP_FIXED with mmap() will bypass this restriction.
