I'm trying to understand how user space can efficiently manipulate
physical memory, and I'm sure that X11 does that great. So this is
just a learning exercise for me about X11..

I know that it can be done via:
1. mmap'ing /dev/mem
2. creating a char device driver that allocates physical memory and
expose it via mmap() support

and now i understand it can also be done via sysfs ?

can you please comment on that and maybe tell what's the best way ?

thank you for helping!
