Form here I'm not sure how you did exactly.

Theoretically, you can mmap() directly that at least from the sys resource. But
I think you have to notice the aligning requirement for a page. I means you
should firstly map one given base_address & ~(PAGE_SIZE - 1). Then access the
last destination address with adding the corresponding offset as you want.

Hope its useful.
