New submission from Enji Cooper <yaneurabeya at gmail.com>:

madvise can be used when manipulating mmap'ed pages, but it can also be used when protecting processes and other things.

Having madvise be available in mmap as a function would be helpful instead of having to jump through a lot of hoops to run `MADV_PROTECT` on a process.
