You should have a look at '_ram_iomem' in [1]. It is the IO_MEM session
of the VMM that references the RAM of the normal world. Once estalished,
this session provides a refernce to the RAM in form of a so-called
dataspace. This dataspace can be used to attach the RAM locally via
'env()->rm_session()'. The VMM stores the resulting local address in
'Vm_base::_ram'. So, if you're in the VMM, you can acces the RAM through
this object. If you're in another component you would have to request
the VMM to release the IO_MEM-Region to be able to allocate it through a
new IO_MEM session.

Cheers,
Martin
