+ * Example showing how to pin down a range of virtual pages from user-space
+ * to be able to do for example DMA directly into them.
+ *
+ * It is necessary because the pages the virtual pointers reference, might
+ * not exist in memory (could be mapped to the zero-page, filemapped etc)
+ * and DMA cannot trigger the MMU to force them in (and would have time 
+ * contraints making it impossible to wait for it anyway).
