+[16] The libio stream file functions should be extended in a way to use
+ mmap to map the file and use it as the buffer to user sees. For

+ A more sophisticated solution would use mmap also for writing. The

+ to the page size and install the correct length only for fclose() and
+ fflush() calls.
