[Gllug] Writing my own system call

I need to know the physical address of memory allocated from the heap in
user space (this is for research, not because I am suggesting this is a
sensible thing for anyone in the real world to be able to do) - I am
researching/confirming phases of memory locality in the kernel.

As far as I can see the only way I will be able to do this is to write my
own system call handle the return from __pa().

But, just to check - anyone know of a simpler way?
