I am not using the static guest process, I am using the
FASTRPC_IOCTL_INIT_CREATE to load a fastrpc shell process. It doesn't crash.

AFAIK the DSP does not need the process memory after the process
creation - this would allow userspace to modify the executable after the
DSP verifies the hash/signature. So the DSP absolutely needs to make a
copy of it before verifying it (otherwise this would be a pretty serious
and obvious security flaw in qcom's fastrpc system. but I wouldn't be
surprised!).
