I really appreciate reading such bug request.
Maybe we should add a Suggested-by line
	Suggested-by: Solal Pirelli <solal.pirelli at gmail.com>
before the SoB line (chronological order).


> Indicated that several mmap call sites in the linuxapp eal code used an
> fd that was not -1 in their calls while using MAP_ANONYMOUS.  While
> probably not a huge deal, the man page does say the fd should be -1 for
> portability, as some implementations don't ignore fd as they should for
> MAP_ANONYMOUS, and seting -1 here allows us to eliminate some code.
