 * Virtual memory management.
 *
 * This file provides mechanism to define virtual memory mappings, whose content
 * is allocated transparently and filled on-the-fly. Those virtual memory mappings
 * can be much larger than the available RAM, but only parts of the virtual
 * memory mapping, in the limit of the allowed the cache size, will actually be
 * physically allocated.
 *
 * This exploits low-level mechanisms of the operating system (virtual memory
 * allocation, page protection and handler of virtual memory exceptions).
 *
 * It is also possible to create a virtual memory mapping from a file or part
 * of a file.
 *
 * The current implementation is Linux only.
