The terminology is wrong here. It is not about virtual and physical
addresses - that's an MMU concept.
It's about sandbox using a special memory buffer to emulate U-Boot
memory access.
The code is correct but the comment and commit message will cause
great confusion, so please fix.
It is document in a few READMEs, but perhaps I should add some
comments to mapmem.h ?
Regards,
Simon
