 i'd like to explain the intent of the current code
 so that an lkm/configure guru can decide what would be a good fix.
 
 - its primary purpose is a backend of linux mremap system call.
 
 - however, what uvm_mremap.c implements is more than linux mremap.
   eg. it's intended to support inter-vm_map move.
 
 - i made it compat_linux dependent because no one else uses it currently.
 
 - otoh, i put it in uvm/ because its functionality can be useful for others.
   (and i was thinking about introducing netbsd-native version of
   the system call.  it makes significant performance difference for
   some applications, especially for ones written for linux. :-)
