This is a regression ... An isolated testcase works fine on an old
4.99.36 kernel i have, but indeed not on a recent -current.

The problem comes from the flags arguments (0x22 = MAP_ANON +
MAP_PRIVATE) which is correct in linux32_sys_mmap2, but disappear when
linux_sys_mmap2 is called; and is replaced by the file descriptor
value of -1 !!!

linux32_sys_mmap2 addr=0x0, len=0x1000, prot=0x3, flags=0x22, fd=0xffffffff, 
offset=0x0
linux_sys_mmap2 addr=0x0, len=0x1000, prot=0x3, flags=0xffffffff, fd=0x0, 
offset=0xffffffff80419f25
sys_mmap invalid flags ... 5139

Not sure what's going on there yet, but that's weird.
