I'm wondering... is something wrong with /dev/mem on VS2000?  It seems
to me that reading, writing or mmaping that should correspond to
reading, writing or mapping physical memory.  However, it doesn't seem
to work right.  mmap apparently doesn't send things to the right place
and even simple reads of the device with dd can cause "lost mapping"
errors.  What's going on?
