Comment (by KapiX):

 I tried both approaches.

 1. create_area/delete_area is tricky because WebKit MetaAllocator can
 commit 3 pages from address X, then decommit 2 pages from address X, which
 leaves you with one leftover page. decommit implemented with delete_area
 would dealloc all 3. Without additional bookkeeping that won't work.

 2. mmap/munmap/mmap, no luck. Even though munmap apparently succeeds, mmap
 with the same parameters will still fail in the same way.

 BTW I don't like additional bookkeeping idea, that's what MetaAllocator
 does.
