Partially revert commit 5f501d555653 ("binfmt_elf: reintroduce using
MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE").

At least ia64 has ET_EXEC PT_LOAD segments that are not virtual-address
contiguous (but _are_ file-offset contiguous). This would result in
giant mapping attempts to cover the entire span, including the virtual
address range hole. Disable total_mapping_size for ET_EXEC, which
reduces the MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE coverage to only the first PT_LOAD:

$ readelf -lW /usr/bin/gcc
...
Program Headers:
  Type Offset   VirtAddr           PhysAddr           FileSiz  MemSiz   ...
...
  LOAD 0x000000 0x4000000000000000 0x4000000000000000 0x00b5a0 0x00b5a0 ...
  LOAD 0x00b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x600000000000b5a0 0x0005ac 0x000710 ...
...
       ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^                    ^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^

File offset range     : 0x000000-0x00bb4c
			0x00bb4c bytes

Virtual address range : 0x4000000000000000-0x600000000000bcb0
			0x200000000000bcb0 bytes

Ironically, this is the reverse of the problem that originally caused
problems with ET_EXEC and MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE: overlaps. This problem is
with holes. Future work could restore full coverage if load_elf_binary()
were to perform mappings in a separate phase from the loading (where
it could resolve both overlaps and holes).

This does not apply for me, I'm looking around and can't find any 
reference to the first_pt_load variable you're removing there?  What 
commit/tag are you applying this on top of?

Ah, yeah, this is against linux-next. Let me send a backport, one sec...
