Each row in /proc/$PID/maps describes a region of contiguous virtual memory in a process or thread. Each row has the following fields:address perms offset dev inode pathname 08048000-08056000 r-xp 00000000 03:0c 64593 /usr/sbin/gpm address - This is the starting and ending address of the region in the process's address spacepermissions - This describes how pages in the region can be accessed.

•Large Intel VT-d Pages •Adds 2 MB and 1 GB page sizes to Intel VT-d implementations •Matches current support for Extended Page Tables (EPT) •Ability to share CPU’s EPT page-table(with super-pages) with Intel VT-d •Benefits: •Less memory foot-print for I/O page-tables when using super-pages •Potential for improved performance – Due to shorter page-walks, allows hardware optimization for IOTLB •T..
