Ah, right. I think it was meant to become allowed as part of commit
80fe7430c708 ("ALSA: add new 32-bit layout for snd_pcm_mmap_status/control"),
which did allow the snd_pcm_mmap_status to be mmap()ed, but it appears
to be the rare case where two mistakes cancel out and we don't have to
change the mmap code.
