[ros-dev] Re : MmSecureVirtualMemory

[James Tabor]

All it does is save virtual memory addresses in a table structure.
Compares and checks to make sure no one allocates or deallocates it
without the right permissions. So it is just more junk doing the same
thing with what we already have without the table stuff.

Time burning code when your processors should be doing something else.
