Summary: mmap missing offset parameter

Initial Comment:
For some reason, the author of the MMap module didn't see fit to 
expose the "offset" parameter of the mmap syscall to python. It 
would be really nice if it had that. Currently, it's always set to 0.

    m_obj->data = mmap(NULL, map_size,
               prot, flags,
               fd, 0);

Would either of you care to provide a patch adding the
parameter?  I'll review it...

I agree.  Having access to the offset parameter would be
quite convenient, at least to some who use mmap in a
nontrivial fashion.
