Couldn't this be done by having a root-only tmpfs, and having a userspace

Honestly having a device that allows passing fds around that can be
mmaped sounds a lot simpler. I have to admit that I expect /dev/zero
to do this, but looking at the code it creates new file structures
at ->mmap time which would defeat this.
Could you point out where done this?
