We used MAP_32BIT to work around a troublesome bug in the OCaml compiler. It'll get fixed properly in the next release of the compiler, but isolating and backporting just the compiler fix would have been seriously complicated. Happily the workaround on using MAP_32BIT is a simple, effective change.

And yeah we really depend on the kernel not ignoring this flag ...
