Originally, most callers expected -1 while some thought they'd get NULL
on failure. NULL seems cleaner to me.

Of course is we want to allow memmapping of "/dev/ram" or something
alike then we can't apply this patch, we need to fix the NULL-expecters
instead. Alternatively we could pass &mem as an argument (that's what
individual fs memmap implementations do).
