I'll preface this by saying I could be completely wrong.

It's my understanding that the way modern processor architectures work that 
the physical space in RAM has no bearing on what space the process thinks it 
is using, determined by the MMU and paging.

So, maybe someone else can affirm or correct me, but I think the answer is, 
there isn't a way from userspace.
