Only by need to know is mm->mmap_base computed initialy for 32-bit
or for 64-bit.

That would, but mm_struct is in generic code, if adding those new bases
is fine, than I'll do that in v3.

It will look somehow like:
: if (in_compat_syscall())
: return current->mm->mmap_compat_base;
: else
: return current->mm->mmap_base;
