-// A process is a recipient for user code, as well as for mounting File Systems,
-// which allow access to features of the system.
+// A process is basically :
+// - a page directory and a list of segments mapped in user space
+// - a list of file systems each associated to a name
+// - some threads (currently, only one thread per process supported)
-#include <thread.h>
+// Notes on memory mapping :
+// - mmap creates an empty zone (zero-initialized)
+// - mmap_file increments the refcount of the file handle
+// - mchmap = change mode on already mapped zone (eg. after loading code)
