According to Posix, if MAP_FIXED is specified mmap shall set ENOMEM if the requested mapping exceeds the allowed range for address space of the process. The generic code set it right, but the specific powerpc slice_get_unmapped_area() function currently returns -EINVAL in that case. This patch corrects it.
