Passing protocol buffer like objects around user space, that might
affect how the kernel talks to hardware. E.g. IPsec offload into
hardware. You don't want user-space messing with that sort of
context, but you want to tag it with the data buffer as it gets
passed up and down through the user/kernel gate. Practical page
flipping needs a kernel-read-only context attached to the non-kernel
user data part of the page. A quick solution is to pair pages, one
half of which the kernel owns, the other being the data payload. But
that't just a start. And that's all I'm saying: this might be an
approach to a better/faster I/O paradigm, but it needs interested
people to explore it ...
