...unless you actually want users to construct their own MapMode(s), 
like you mentioned is the case with FileChannel.open() and FileAttribute 
interface. But there this makes sense because the backend (FileSystem) 
is also pluggable, so users can define their own FileSystem 
implementations that consume their own FileAttribute(s)...

Are you proposing to add an spi for MappedByteBuffer's here? That would 
be an overkill for this feature, I think...
