I am playing around the code downloaded from git repo and tried something like 
the following in linux-user mode:

$ qemu-avr32 a.out

[a.out is a simple elf file created using avr32-gcc by compiling a file 
containing a blank main()].

#test.c

int main() {
        return 0;
}

I get an error "mmap: Invalid argument". The same behavior can be seen for all 
elf programs (as simple as a blank main function). Not sure what I expected, 
but definitely not an error. This kind of execution is important for providing 
gdb support.

Further analysis shows that the error directly narrows down to target_mmap in 
mmap.c. The check for offset and target_page_mask fails for stack segment 
mapping and results in this error. Any idea why this happened? Let me know your 
insights on this issue.
