In the posix case, the mappings are created with the MAP_NORESERVE flag. As far as I can understand it (but I'm definitely not sure to understand it), it corresponds to a lazy allocation: the pages stay virtual until we touch them.

I'm not sure what is the equivalent in the Windows case. The CreateFileMappingA() function has the following flags: SEC_COMMIT and SEC_RESERVE, but they have apparently an effect for anonymous mappings only.
