I believe this is a kernel bug, and the kernel API for 32-bit emulation
should always take the pgoff argument in 4KB units instead of PAGE_SIZE
units, see the implementation of sys_mmap2 in
arch/powerpc/kernel/sys_ppc32.c.

All user space programs that call mmap2 still need to make sure that
their arguments are PAGE_SIZE aligned, but the libc need not care
about this here.
