+	 * Essentially, setup_physmem() uses a file to mmap() our physmem,

+	 * is no difference, since they both become part of our address
+	 * space and memory consumption. To somebody looking in from the
+	 * outside, however, it is different because the part of our memory
+	 * consumption that's already part of the binary (code/data) is not
+	 * mapped from the file, so it's not visible to another mmap from
+	 * the file descriptor.
+	 *
+	 * Thus, don't advertise this space to the vhost-user slave. This
+	 * means that the slave will likely abort or similar when we give
+	 * it an address from the hidden range, since it's not marked as
+	 * a valid address, but at least that way we detect the issue and
+	 * don't just have the slave read an all-zeroes buffer from the
+	 * shared memory file, or write something there that we can never
+	 * see (depending on the direction of the virtqueue traffic.)
+	 *
+	 * Since we usually don't want to use .text for virtio buffers,
+	 * this effectively means that you cannot use
+	 *  1) global variables, which are in the .bss and not in the shm
+	 *     file-backed memory
+	 *  2) the stack in some processes, depending on where they have
+	 *     their stack (or maybe only no interrupt stack?)
+	 *
+	 * The stack is already not typically valid for DMA, so this isn't
+	 * much of a restriction, but global variables might be encountered.
+	 *
+	 * It might be possible to fix it by copying around the data that's
+	 * between bss_start and where we map the file now, but it's not
+	 * something that you typically encounter with virtio drivers, so
+	 * it didn't seem worthwhile.
