[PATCH] uml: fix static binary segfault
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When UML is built as a static binary, it segfaults when run.  The reason is
that a memory hole that is present in dynamic binaries isn't there in static
binaries, and it contains essential stuff.

This fix removes the code which maps some anonymous memory into that hole and
cleans up some related code.
