Yes, that's the problem: Linux file IO is based on the MMU. One trick which was used in one of the patches was to offset: you get an address for the page, and an address in the page. That's the internals. However, you also need to change function interface and to implement new libc functions. I can't find the patch-set anymore, but it must have been announced on linux-kernel.
