How does NetBSD guarantee that memory pages are allocated from

Doesn't the caller of rump_sys_* allocate the memory?
Not sure about geteblk.
Yes indeed that is the case. Hurd does so by passing the memory buffer
pointer to those functions but I don't know where NetBSD would do the
equivalent. Perhaps that's in a NetBSD libc or in NetBSD kernel space,
but wherever it is, the same restriction on the memory for that pointer
must also apply. Possibly I need to reword that part to make sure
there's no misunderstanding.
