Well, I suppose, theoretically.

However, before we consider backporting, what I really need is for
people to test it.  Downward growing mappings may cause application
issues:  If you map to an unspecified address, you may be surprised to
discover that you can't expand the mapping upwards.  Of course, no
application should ever depend on being able to expand unspecified maps
in either direction, but you never know...
