Cced Matt.
It would be good if we have a such thing. In addtion, code itself looks good to me. :)
But I have a question. Why didn't you change /proc/map? Due to ABI? So then, Is it okay to change smaps ABI?
I don't know there is any well-known tool to use smap information. Maybe Matt have the answer.
