Note that NORMA is not supported in GNU Mach; it was a project at CMU
and some of the code is still there (no reason to remove it) but it
isn't just something you can turn on a flag and have it work.
NORMA is support for RPC between threads which cannot access each
other's memory (it stands for "NO Remote Memory Access") and is
therefore support structure for network IPC.
Ordinary Mach IPC can be networked, but there are some significant
performance and other issues which make special kernel support very
helpful; that's what NORMA is about.
