I think it is.

It's the approach I think the upstream kernel needs to make to cleanup mman.h.

See my upstream linux RFC here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-api/msg02064.html

For each target:
(a) Include a common mman.h
(b) Undef everything that's wrong.
(c) Define your own changes.

I did a lot of review work for that RFC, there are a lot of things that could
go into mman-linux.h to make the final files smaller.

Cheers,
Carlos.
