There's just no sane way to revoke shared memory mappings for NOMMU so lets
disable the thing completely when CONFIG_MMU=n.

I think that's reasonable for now - we can always add support as far as
possible later.

Yes, we can test this on Blackfin arch and maybe add support later with
Blackfin MPU.

Thanks

This solution is not completed in NOMMU.
at least ext2 fs can't find generic_file_revoke():

As NOMMU does not include fs/revoke.c, we need to provide a stub for
generic_file_revoke() so that filesystems using it compile.

Cool, you are so quick and your patchbomb tool is very efficient. I will
test it on my side ASAP.
