Comment 8 for bug 607970

Implementing \Device\PhysicalMemory is not so as hard as it might sound. Linux for example offers /dev/mem which is basically the same as \Device\PhysicalMemory. The problem is only that you need to have root rights in order to access this device. This is not really surprising as you can read the data of all mapped processes which is a major security risk. On Windows you also need admin rights in order to access \Device\PhysicalMemory. However, Wine is not intended to be run as root, so this is most probably not going to be implemented.
