Only when MREMAP_FIXED is specified, mremap will always use the fifth
argument as new address. Without MREMAP_FIXED, although the current
implementation of Linux kernel will try to allocate address at the hint
(in this case, the fifth argument) first. But this is not guaranteed: if
kernel found the hint address is not available, it will try other
address. But with MREMAP_FIXED, it will return MAP_FAILED if the hint
address is not available.
We found some test failure related to it on HiFive P550.
