Running qemu-i386 on a system running with SELinux in enforcing mode
(more precisely: s390x trixie container on Fedora 40) fails with:
qemu-i386: tests/tcg/i386-linux-user/sigreturn-sigmask: Unable to find a guest_base to satisfy all guest address mapping requirements
00000000-ffffffff
The reason is that main() determines mmap_min_addr from
/proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, but SELinux additionally defines
CONFIG_LSM_MMAP_MIN_ADDR, which is normally larger: 32K or 64K, but,
in general, can be anything. There is no portable way to query its
value: /boot/config, /proc/config and /proc/config.gz are distro- and
environment-specific.
Once the identity map fails, the magnitude of guest_base does not
matter, so fix by starting the search from 1M or 1G.

v1 -> v2: Start looking for a suitable hole from a higher address,
instead of falling back to probing (Richard).

Queued, thanks.
