Try using 

  http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~fm3/emul_l4rm.c

as replacement for l4rm in L4Linux applications. But be aware that, as
Adam said, the Linux server is not aware of memory from external data-
spaces. So read/write syscalls don't work with this memory. To use these
you had to use double buffering.
