If the memory were given to you by mmapping a region of a file (from,
say, ramfs) then you could try using mmap on it a second time, with
the address set to where you want to map it to.... but I doubt that
would work. I'm pretty sure that's only valid for use between
different processes.

Basically, I think you just need to memcpy the memory.
