 Replying to [comment:29 fbissey]:
 > I think we should test if it is the problem too. I am currently
 installing some power 7 gear at my home university (university of
 Canterbury in New Zealand) so we will have alternative testing platform
 soon if that's a concern.

 I don't think ECL uses fixed mappings (in that range) at all.

 Even if it did, `mmap()` should return `MAP_FAILED`, which is, as far as I
 can see, always catched, and the ''returned'' address used rather than the
 one passed. (You can of course test whether the kernel is buggy... :) )
