/**
 * Consider that
 * 1. you have a SimpleMemory that spans from 0x0 to 0x10000
 * 2. you have a SharedMemoryServer with server_path=ram.sock
 * 3. The SHM server and the Mem is under the same System
 *
 * You should see a unix socket m5out/ram.sock, and you should be able to run
 * our example with commands like:
 * `./shared_memory_client_example m5out/ram.sock 0x1000 0x1010`
 *
 * The example will use the client to map the range 0x1000-0x1010 of the
 * SimpleMemory into the address space of the example. As a result, the example
 * will be able to access the backing store of the SimpleMemory with just a
 * normal pointer.
