Okay, sorry; There is a big difference between Linux and Xenomai most
probably.Is it possible to access any user-space buffer from Xenomai
in Primary Mode? What happens when a buffer is to small or invalid?
Is it a problem to use rtdm_(safe_)copy_to_user in Primary Mode or does
it only add overhead?

Sorry for not paying enough attention in first place, and for asking
so many questions...
