    kernel - Fix serious bug in MAP_STACK, deprecate auto-grow semantics
    
    * When MAP_STACK is used without MAP_TRYFIXED, the address the kernel
      determines for the stack was *NOT* being returned to userland.  Instead,
      userland always got only the hint address.
    
    * This fixes ruby MAP_STACK use cases and possibly more.
    
    * Deprecate MAP_STACK auto-grow semantics.  All user mmap() calls with
      MAP_STACK are now converted to normal MAP_ANON mmaps.  The kernel will
      continue to create an auto-grow stack segment for the primary user stack
      in exec(), allowing older pthread libraries to continue working, but this
      feature is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
