Nonsense.  The mmap semantics is specified in POSIX.  If something
doesn't work as requested it is a bug.  For the specific issue hurting
x86 and likely others the standard explicitly allows requiring
PROT_READ to be used or implicitly adding it.  Don't confuse people
with wrong statement like yours.
