OK, This is the URL for a sample module that implements the mmap
device entry point in order to share pages of host memory with a
process. It took a lot of digging to figure out how to do this
reliably, so start here before trying to figure it out for yourself:-)

I've only tested it on Linux/Intel. It is heavily commented to explain
what I think is going on each step of the way.

Comments, corrections welcome.
