1. A method comprising:
mapping a first region of a first kernel address space to a first region in a first physical address space;
mapping a first region of a second kernel address space to the first region in the first physical address space, wherein mapping the first region of the second kernel address space to the first region in the first physical address space comprises mapping the first region of the second kernel address space to a first region in a device memory space, and mapping the first region in the device memory space to the first region in the first physical address space;
enabling a common shared region in both the first kernel address space and the second kernel address space for use; and
creating a unified kernel address space, based at least in part on the common shared region.
