Please use 75 or 76 chars per line in change logs to make it
easier to read the commit log.

The description is a bit confusing. What happens when mmap tries
to map addresses < mmap_min_addr?

Change this to "sysctl tunable from procfs"

Should this be an error or retry? Can you add why this is a retry
when addr < mmap_min_addr?

Sure

If run without root, mmap returns the EPERM error code but with root

it returns the EACCES error code. In the code of the test case, it checks

if the map failed with the EPERM error code and will retry with a new
address.

The test breaks when run as root because EACCES isn't caught for the
retry condition.

Rather than arbitrarily also catching the EACCES error code, I avoid mapping

with addresses < mmap_min_addr.

In the original code, addr starts at 0, attempts an mmap, and retries on

failure with addr += c.src_alignment. I just retry earlier before the mmap

call because the mmap call will always fail if the addr < mmap_min_addr.
