something i'd like to have but have not spent time figuring out how to do 
is just directly mmap the ptes for a piece of your own address space. 
Then you don't have to take the hit that mincore requires:
	syscall
	walk ptes
	copyout()

So if anyone out there has mmap'ed their own ptes or knows how, i'm 
listening.

thanks
ron
