Description
For #609 we'll want to be able to emulate exec and clone. This requires recording kernel side-effects that we usually rely on being deterministic across record/replay.

Research direction
Start by reading issue #609 and tracing the existing record/replay handling for exec and clone. Identify the kernel-side effects that are currently assumed deterministic and determine how pseudo-mmap events should be recorded; done means those events are captured for both operations and the behavior is covered by the project's relevant tests.
