There's some overhead, but I think it's not too bad. I'll give it a

Ah, and I already wondered where in all the APIC code you've hidden

Did you look at kiobufs ? I think they may just have the right
functionality. I always wanted bootimg to be able to memory-map things

When possible it is nice to set as much policy as possible,
