Description

Currently map file in procfs cannot be read with programs like cat
sometimes. It happens if the buffer to be read into cannot hold the entire
content of map file. Call to read returns EFBIG on this occasion, which is
somewhat confusing.

A test:

http://pastebin.com/SrZY3Sr4

It will print -1 on error or 0 on success.

Patch attached. It also contains some changes from FreeBSD
