If it is given in @var{flags}, the system may remove the existing mapping
and create a new one of the desired length in another location.

@item MREMAP_FIXED
If it is given in @var{flags}, @code{mremap} accepts a fifth argument,
@code{void *new_address}, which specifies a page-aligned address to
which the mapping must be moved. Any previous mapping at the address
range specified by @var{new_address} and @var{new_size} is unmapped.

@code{MREMAP_FIXED} must be used together with @code{MREMAP_MAYMOVE}.

@item MREMAP_DONTUNMAP
If it is given in @var{flags}, @code{mremap} accepts a fifth argument,
@code{void *new_address}, which specifies a page-aligned address. Any
previous mapping at the address range specified by @var{new_address} and
@var{new_size} is unmapped. If @var{new_address} is @code{NULL}, the
kernel chooses the page-aligned address at which to create the mapping.
Otherwise, the kernel takes it as a hint about where to place the mapping.
The mapping at the address range specified by @var{old_address} and
@var{old_size} isn't unmapped.

@code{MREMAP_DONTUNMAP} must be used together with @code{MREMAP_MAYMOVE}.
@var{old_size} must be the same as @var{new_size}. This flag bit is
