We first create the mapping for the page at `0x1000` by calling our `create_example_mapping` function with a mutable reference to the `mapper` and the `frame_allocator` instances. This maps the page `0x1000` to the VGA text buffer frame, so we should see any write to it on the screen. We first create the mapping for the page at address `0` by calling our `create_example_mapping` function with a mutable reference to the `mapper` and the `frame_allocator` instances. This maps the page to the VGA text buffer frame, so we should see any write to it on the screen.
Then we convert the page to a raw pointer and write a value to offset `400`. We don't write to the start of the page because the top line of the VGA buffer is directly shifted off the screen by the next `println`. We write the value `0x_f021_f077_f065_f04e`, which represents the string _"New!"_ on white background. As we learned [in the _“VGA Text Mode”_ post], writes to the VGA buffer should be volatile, so we use the [`write_volatile`] method.
