I tried going back to the basics, and a device_open and a device_map later,
I stumbled upon another problem in oskit/ds_routines.c:
spkecial_mem_device (device_t *loc, vm_offset_t kva,
vm_size_t size, vm_size_t recsize,
device_t *out_dev)
{
if (*loc == DEVICE_NULL)
{
device_t dev = dev_open_alloc ();
if (dev == DEVICE_NULL)
return KERN_RESOURCE_SHORTAGE;
dev->mode = D_READ;
Here the mode is hard coded to read only.
I can not device_map with VM_PROT_WRITE, as the open mode is verified
(D_WRITE has to be set). So I can not get a writable mapping. I loose.
Thanks,
Marcus
