What about a cross between the Mach task_ras_control() and mmap():

int ras_control(caddr_t addr, size_t size, int type)

Valid values for type (from Mach) are:

RAS_CONTROL_INSTALL_ONE
RAS_CONTROL_PURGE_ONE
RAS_CONTROL_PURGE_ALL
RAS_CONTROL_PURGE_ALL_AND_INSTALL_ONE

The semantics basically match the Mach usage.  RASs would be
inherited across a fork.
