This is great stuff, thanks!

Note that /proc/self/maps appears nowhere in phobos or druntime. So I'm 
assuming that's some other function that's doing it (maybe in libc?)

The clock_getres calls are so you can use core.time.MonoTime. rt_init 
initializes those so they can be used early in the process. I would 
assume those are really fast, as they are constants in the kernel.
