My Kernel Mode Setting Program is not working on the latest Debian Linux 64 
Bit Kernel.

Debian 10 - 32 Bit Linux - it works
Debian 10 - 64 Bit Linux - it works
Debian 11 - 32 Bit Linux - it works
Debian 11 - 64 Bit Linux - it does not work

It has something to do with mmap2 and may be the vtconsole.
I guess mmap2 is not working correctly in Debian 11 - 64 Bit Linux.
Or the vtconsole takes over the framebuffer.
