[PATCH] Randomisation: mmap randomisation

The patch below randomizes the starting point of the mmap area.

This has the effect that all non-prelinked shared libaries and all bigger
malloc()s will be randomized between various invocations of the binary. 
Prelinked binaries get a address-hint from ld.so in their mmap and are thus
exempt from this randomisation, in order to not break the prelink advantage.
The randomisation range is 1 megabyte (this is bigger than the stack
randomisation since the stack randomisation only needs 16 bytes alignment
while the mmap needs page alignment, a 64kb range would not have given enough
entropy to be effective)
