Hello Alexandre,

Physical memory lying in the kernel area (i.e., beyond 3GB) cannot be mapped
idempotently. You need to remap that memory to a virtual address in user
area. You can do so by leveraging sigma0's RPC protocol (see the spec,
chapter 7.6), requesting sigma0 to map the VGA or other device memory to a
specified virtual address.

Hope this helps,
-Jan
