+ * The last eight pages of every address space are reserved for the kernel/user
+ * "comm area". Because they can be addressed via a sign-extended 16-bit field,
+ * it is particularly efficient to access code or data in the comm area with
+ * absolute branches (ba, bla, bca) or absolute load/stores ("lwz r0,-4096(0)").
+ * Because the comm area can be reached from anywhere, dyld is not needed.
+ * Although eight pages are reserved, presently only two are populated and mapped.
+ *
+ * Routines on the comm page(s) can be thought of as the firmware for extended processor
+ * instructions, whose opcodes are special forms of "bla". Ie, they are cpu
+ * capabilities. During system initialization, the kernel populates the comm page with
+ * code customized for the particular processor and platform.
+ *
+ * Because Mach VM cannot map the last page of an address space, the max length of
+ * the comm area is seven pages.
