 * I/O
 *
 * Getting data in and out of the Guest is quite an art.  There are numerous
 * ways to do it, and they all suck differently.  We try to keep things fairly
 * close to "real" hardware so our Guest's drivers don't look like an alien
 * visitation in the middle of the Linux code, and yet make sure that Guests
 * can talk directly to other Guests, not just the Launcher.
 *
 * To do this, the Guest gives us a key when it binds or sends DMA buffers.
 * The key corresponds to a "physical" address inside the Guest (ie. a virtual
 * address inside the Launcher process).  We don't, however, use this key
 * directly.
 *
 * We want Guests which share memory to be able to DMA to each other: two
 * Launchers can mmap memory the same file, then the Guests can communicate.
 * Fortunately, the futex code provides us with a way to get a "union
 * futex_key" corresponding to the memory lying at a virtual address: if the
 * two processes share memory, the "union futex_key" for that memory will match
 * even if the memory is mapped at different addresses in each.  So we always
 * convert the keys to "union futex_key"s to compare them.
 *
 * Before we dive into this though, we need to look at another set of helper
 * routines used throughout the Host kernel code to access Guest memory.
