Do you mean when the code is bound into the kernel statically? Then the answer 
is yes.

I have been reading the code and I am still deeply confused. If you idea is to 
map this into an area of the SH4's memory space I am not sure how that would 
work.

Is it not better to treat this as a block device - with all the async maple 
stuff underneath?
