.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn kernacc
and
.Fn useracc
functions check whether operations of the type specified in
.Fa rw
are permitted in the range of virtual addresses given by
.Fa addr
and
.Fa len .
The possible values of
.Fa rw
Change useracc() and kernacc() to use VM_PROT_{READ|WRITE|EXECUTE} for the "rw" argument, rather than hijacking B_{READ|WRITE}. Fix two bugs (physio & cam) resulting by the confusion caused by this. Submitted by: Tor.Egge@fast.no Reviewed by: alc, ken (partly)
