Sergey,

Thanks for the patch! LGTM, except a few nits below.

I'd rather reword the previous sentence the following way:
| In case of huge blobs that are mapped directly, `mremap()` may move
| the chunk out of 47-bit range of VA space on ARM64.

I'm confused a bit with "reset" word: MREMAP_MAYMOVE is simply changed
to 0 (i.e. CALL_MREMAP_NOMOVE). Moreover, it's better to stay in LuaJIT
terms instead of Linux ones.

Just polished two sections above:
| -- To allocate a memory buffer with the size up to the threshold
| -- for direct mapping `string.rep()` is used with the length that
| -- equals to DEFAULT_MMAP_THRESHOLD.
| -- Then concatenate the directly mapped result string with the
