Is there that much overhead to creating an AS per master? I guess you end up recalculating the same memory flatview for every AS when a memory region gets mapped or unmapped. In any case, if it's OK to share AddressSpaces between masters then we can relatively easily do so, since there's already a list of all AddressSpaces that you can run through to find the one whose root MemoryRegion is the one you want. (Probably needs a refcount in the AddressSpace struct as well.) thanks -- PMM
