For some reason when the new -X/-XX options were added
what was always displayed as 'Mode' became 'Flags'. So
now a precious horizontal space is wasted because that
field's data has only 4 bytes whereas the header is 5.
Moreover, this created a conflict with the top program
which used that name in a column header already. Plus,
top emitted a 'Translation Hint' that suggests the max
chars should be 8 which is a limit pmap needn't share!
The xgettext program provides no way to keep identical
strings separate. This meant both top and pmap will be
sharing not only the msgid but a Translation Hint too.
So, the solution will now be two distinct field names.
Besides the kernel folks document it as 'perm' anyway!

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
