+/* This logic is all tentatively and, hopefully, will grow in usability.
+ * For now, the kernel-mode build uses the memory manager that is
+ * provided in the user-space build.  That is awkward but reasonable for
+ * the current level of support:  At present, only memory protection is
+ * provided.  Kernel-mode code may call into user-mode code, but not
+ * vice-versa.  So hosting the memory manager in user-space allows the
+ * memory manager to be shared in both kernel- and user-mode spaces.
+ *
+ * In the longer run, if an MMU is support that can provide virtualized
+ * memory, then some SLAB memory manager will be required in kernel-space
+ * with some kind of brk() system call to obtain mapped heap space.
+ *
+ * In the current build model, the user-space module is built first. The
+ * file user_map.h is generated in the first pass and contains the
+ * addresses of the memory manager needed in this file:

+ * Description:

+ * Parameters:

+ *
+ * Return Value:
+ *   None
+ *
+ * Assumptions:
+ *   1. mm_addregion() resides in user-space
+ *   2. The address of the user space mm_addregion() is provided in
+ *      user_map.h
+ *   3. The user-space mm_addregion() is callable from kernel-space.
