You do have to be careful poking at that and /dev/mem. After all they
aren't necesarily contiguous. Some addresses are invalid. They aren't
normal files after all.
Imagine you go to read the values at the location where your program is
running? The fact you look at it causes it to change which if the
program keeps looking means it changes again in a cute little loop.
