I think it was primarily inspired by TENEX/TOPS-20, and it was the CSRG
who proposed it. The concepts are described in CSRG TR/4 and mmap()
ended up described in the 4.2BSD manual, but not implemented.

I don't think Reiser's VM system at the Labs included mmap(), but I think
it did have something similar. Of course, that never really saw the light
of day.
