That is what we do, but the present issue is different; we're talking
only about atomicity: that is, if you write the file, then your exec
is either the pre-write version or the post-write version, but never
some kind of mix.  If the exec does several different reads and maps
(all of which are already done with MAP_COPY), then these might get
the file at different states; that's the point.
