I guess ctob does what I need it to. I think that's probably why it still wasn't working yet... I think it also has to be page aligned before you pass it in though, I have to look at linux's do_mmap_pgoff() (I think that's the right function name) to see if it's expecting an already page-aligned arg, or if it's aligning it before it uses it.
