memory mapped i/o?

Just curious ... has anyone done work to make GCJ work well
with memory mapped files? It seems to me that would call for
some smart hookups to the garbage collector, but it shouldn't
be that hard unless there are assumptions being made about
ability to relocate data. (Speaks someone who's rarely had
to look at that level of a JVM ... ;-)
I could see a variety of applications (webpage serving and
some video apps come to mind :-) benefitting from such stuff.
(But so far as I know, Sun's JCP hasn't looked at this.)
