Yup.

Can you try three things:
check the maps file for any arbitrary process
(i.e. /proc/$$/maps) and see if there's anything mapped at 0
gdb UML, stop it at that mmap, check its maps file and see if
there's anything mapped at 0
send me a pointer to the patches that Ubuntu has applied on
top of the stock kernel - I'm suspicious that they special-cased page
zero in order to ensure that NULL pointer dereferences cause faults.

You can test this last theory by initializing bottom to 4096 instead
of 0.
