Change subject: IMPALA-5073: Use mmap() instead of malloc() for buffer pool
......................................................................


Patch Set 7:

I wonder if this is going to cause trouble with vm_overcommit set to 2, since 
tc_malloc doesn't actually unmap its mappings (it just madvise(DONTNEED)).  So, 
it seems we can get into a situation now where total virtual address space 
exceeds physical memory.  But I'm not sure how the kernel accounts DONTNEED 
regions.
