/* This driver manages files that have been copied to memory and
 * managed as a share-able "memory mapped" file.  This functionality is
 * intended to provide a substitute for memory mapped files for architectures
 * that do not have MMUs and, hence, cannot support on demand paging of
 * blocks of a file.
 *
 * This copied file has many of the properties of a standard memory mapped
 * file except:
 *
 * - All of the file must be present in memory.  This limits the size of
 *   files that may be memory mapped (especially on MCUs with no significant
 *   RAM resources).
 * - All mapped files are read-only.  You can write to the in-memory image,
 *   but the file contents will not change.
 * - There are not access privileges.

 * Name: rammmap
 *
 * Description:
 *   Support simulation of memory mapped files by copying files into RAM.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   filep   file descriptor of the backing file -- required.
 *   length  The length of the mapping.  For exception #1 above, this length
 *           ignored:  The entire underlying media is always accessible.
 *   offset  The offset into the file to map
 *   kernel  kmm_zalloc or kumm_zalloc
 *   mapped  The pointer to the mapped area
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   On success rammmap returns 0. Otherwise errno is returned appropriately.
 *
 *     EBADF
 *      'fd' is not a valid file descriptor.
 *     EINVAL
 *       'length' or 'offset' are invalid
 *     ENOMEM
 *       Insufficient memory is available to map the file.
