From 3c6b5bfa3cf3b4057788e08482a468cc3bc00780 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rusty Russell Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2007 11:03:26 +1000 Subject: Introduce guest mem offset, static link example launcher In order to avoid problematic special linking of the Launcher, we give the Host an offset: this means we can use any memory region in the Launcher as Guest memory rather than insisting on mmap() at 0. The result is quite pleasing: a number of casts are replaced with simple additions.
