Why does there exists a VPFN if a process is going to use only one PFN.
(VPFN = Virtual Page Frame Number)
(PFN = Page Frame Number)

The thing is I'm understanding the concept well.
When a process is mapped to its Virtual Page where does the
instructions go? What does the offset part (on an x86 it's 11:0 and
below) do? And why does it need a VFPN?

The reason why I need to know these things is because I'm soon going
to get into IPC programming and I believe that I most know these for
it to be easier.
