No no! I'm not talking about the physical address spaces. Many CPUs have separate address spaces for separate functions. I'm taking about the virtual address space that the process sees. There are no holes in this virtual address space of SunOS, and no "separate stuff" (I/O space) seen by a user-mode task.
