SubjectRe: [patch 0/4] MAP_NOZERO v2 - VM_NOZERO/MAP_NOZERO early summer madness

That's not what MAP_PRIVATE means. MAP_PRIVATE is the opposite of
MAP_SHARED. It's meaningless for anonymous memory (which is what
ssh-agent etc would use) and for file-backed data it definitely allows
swapping unless you use mlock().
