. test74 for mmap functionality
. vm: add a mem_file memory type that specifies an mmap()ped
memory range, backed by a file
. add fdref, an object that keeps track of FD references within
VM per process and so knows how to de-duplicate the use of FD's
by various mmap()ped ranges; there can be many more than there can
be FD's
. turned off for now, enable with 'filemap=1' as boot option
