+/* This module provides access to some keys that the application can use to
+ provide persistent access to locations in the mapped memory section.
+ The intent is that these keys are to be used sparingly as sort of
+ persistent global variables which the application can use to reinitialize
+ access to data in the mapped region.
+
+ For the moment, these keys are simply stored in the malloc descriptor
+ itself, in an array of fixed length. This should be fixed so that there
+ can be an unlimited number of keys, possibly using a multilevel access
+ scheme of some sort. */
