The driver uses mmap and nopage to allow the host process to map this memory,
as given below. This generally works fine on my 2.1.130 Linux/alpha kernel.
However, it seems to be less stable then then same thing running on a
2.0.X Linux/intel kernel. On the other hand, 2.1.130 (in fact, most of
the 2.1.X kernels) are unstable even without my driver.
I've been getting Oopses relating to kernel page faults at address 0x8,
but often I just get a complete and quiet lockup. And the Oopses seem
unrelated to my driver. I think my driver is not causing these or the
silent lockups.
