Since logical addresses are used underneath and these change from one run to the other, I'm not sure how I can generate such key programatically. It's even more complicated to figure out a key that will later, when C3 starts, map to it. Without having these addresses locked somehow, or their hash codes, I can't see how this is doable. IOW, to be able to do this, I need to mock these addresses into giving fixed as hash codes. I'll dig further into this.
