/**
Class representing the virtual address space used by a single process.

Each address space has:
- An MMU page directory.
- An allocator for virtual addresses.
- A list of memory mappings currently mapped into it.

Most other APIs in the kernel which make use of address spaces don't use pointers to
the address space object itself, instead they use an OS Address Space ID (OS ASID).
This is an integer less than KNumOsAsids and can be used to index into the array of
address space objects - #AddressSpace.
