:I'm trying and porting the nvidia binary graphics driver.  Right now I'm stuck debugging a memory overwrite error which seems to happen on the physical page level, but I'm not sure.
    That's gonna be really hard to port.  Those NVidia binary-only drivers
    are known to be full of bugs and without source there's no way to track
    them down or fix them.
Well, turned out it was my fault.  mmap_ops carries a_result as page frame number, not as byte offset.  I think that should be changed, but I have the feeling that you only recently changed this in the other way?  Using byte offsets would be easier to reason about, tho.
