Speaking of address space virtualization, what is the position of GEM AES
in all that? As I see it - though I must say I don't have a clue about how
specific things are solved in an AES - the concept of the AES' ability to
read/write application's address space (with F_OS_SPECIAL privileges)
relies on the fact that the memory is physically mapped. Or I am errant?
