/* This logic is all tentatively and, hopefully, will grow in usability.
 * For now, the kernel-mode build uses the memory manager that is
 * provided in the user-space build.  That is awkward but reasonable for
 * the current level of support:  At present, only memory protection is
 * provided.  Kernel-mode code may call into user-mode code, but not
 * vice-versa.  So hosting the memory manager in user-space allows the
 * memory manager to be shared in both kernel- and user-mode spaces.
 *
 * In the longer run, if an MMU is support that can provide virtualized
 * memory, then some SLAB memory manager will be required in kernel-space
 * with some kind of brk() system call to obtain mapped heap space.
 *
 * In the current build model, the user-space module is built first. The
 * file user_map.h is generated in the first pass and contains the
 * addresses of the memory manager needed in this file:

 * Function:  kmm_initialize
 *
 * Description:
 *   This is a simple redirection to the user-space mm_initialize()
 *   function.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *   heap_start - Address of the beginning of the (initial) memory region
 *   heap_size  - The size (in bytes) if the (initial) memory region.
 *
 * Return Value:
 *   None
 *
 * Assumptions:
 *   1. mm_initialize() resides in user-space
 *   2. The address of the user space mm_initialize() is provided in
 *      user_map.h
 *   3. The user-space mm_initialize() is callable from kernel-space.
