Sure :)

I am not sure how you derived these values, but I am not sure there
should be differences between 64-BIT x86/ARM64 and PPC values for the
MAX values.

I am trying to reuse the existing hunk available for x86 MMAP randomization.
So I am not sure if we really need the hunk mentioned above.

I think we can get this applied to upstream unless someone sees a
breakage on their platform (I have tested this on PPC64 and PPC64LE
setups at my end, but there might be some aberrations on some custom
PPC platforms)
