//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//           User space access API (implementation in hal_uspace.c)
//
// For sake of portability, user/kernel data transfers must use the following API.
//
// When moving data between user space and kernel space, the user address is always
// a virtual address, and the kernel address is an extended pointer.
// Therefore, each of these buffers can be located in any cluster.
//
// WARNING: these function must be executed by an user thread (i.e. PID > 0),
//          to handle a possible page fault when accessing the user buffer.
