Summary: add offset to mmap

Initial Comment:
This patch is from Yotam Medini <yotamm at
mellanox.co.il> sent to me in mail.

It adds support for the offset parameter to mmap.

It ignores the check for mmap size "if the file is
character device.  Some device drivers (which I happen
to use) have zero size in fstat buffer, but still one
can seek() read() and tell()."
I added minimal doc and tests.

Sounds fair.  Attached is an updated patch which includes
windows support (I think).  I cannot test on Windows. 
Tested on Linux.  Includes updates for doc, src, and test.

I think non-zero offsets need to be supported for Windows as
well.

Email received from Yotam:

I have downloaded and patched the 2.3a source. compiled
locally just this module, and it worked fine for my
application (with offset for character device file) I did
not run the released test though.
