You mean instead of sending the message, its just sending a pointer to an
address that contains what should be inside the message ?
Why would one do that ?
My first idea wasn't exactly a hit, but how about this then:
On the POP box I assume WarpOS has to run on something like Linux and not
just on the raw metal. When starting a PPC task under such a setup, would it
be possible to have WarpOS spawn the program as a task under the host OS and
thereby using the memoryprotection facilities of the host OS ?
