+An address space operation named get_xip_mem is used to retrieve references
+to a page frame number and a kernel address. To obtain these values a reference
+to an address_space is provided. This function assigns values to the kmem and
+pfn parameters. The third argument indicates whether the function should allocate
+blocks if needed.
This address space operation is mutually exclusive with readpage&writepage that
do page cache read/write operations.
