Oops... Didn't realize that.

Understand.

Then we add a restriction that map size is fixed
in one object, but we don't have to. During relocating,
we can get exact map positioning information from
sym.st_value. I think finding a map with exact offset
from the map array would be better.

I'll write a patch to replace this one.

Thank you.
