That way it works. One point is you have to re-use the same virtual address each time. This is harder to program if you have multiple processes running that use the feature and try to find out what minor number was assigned. And yes, this is a cool way to access the filesystem of a dead penguin to repair something (we even run rpm with --root to it)
