32fbbd370c - pages that points to page directory values of all processes,
shared with the kernel, mapped into kernel address space; 
   kernel is notified of its location. kernel segment size is
   increased to make it fit.
 - map in kernel and other processes that don't have their
   own page table using single 4MB (global) mapping.
 - new sanity check facility: objects that are allocated with
   the slab allocator are, when running with sanity checking on,
   marked readonly until they are explicitly unlocked using the USE()
   macro.
 - another sanity check facility: collect all uses of memory and
   see if they don't overlap with (a) eachother and (b) free memory
 - own munmap() and munmap_text() functions.
 - exec() recovers from out-of-memory conditions properly now; this
   solves some weird exec() behaviour
 - chew off memory from the same side of the chunk as where we
   start scanning, solving some memory fragmentation issues
 - use avl trees for freelist and phys_ranges in regions
 - implement most useful part of munmap()
 - remap() stuff is GQ's for shared memory

f86da99e67 map in kernel in 4MB, global-bit-set 'pages' if hardware
supports it. helps performance.

broken use of region data structure for kernel mapping to be fixed.

d2caeb6146 start all processes, including VM, in VM_PROCSTART in linear address space,
to make space for kernel to be able to map in things below there.

3121eec6bd . map text (kernel's and processes') in readonly
. map kernel in non-user
 . don't map in first pages of kernel code and data
   if possible

these first pages could actually be freed but as the
kernel isn't allowed to touch them either we can't reuse
them until VM has totally taken over page table management
and kernel doesn't rely on identity mapping any more.

68d0c4defe - code shared with exec() letting boot-time processes have
their own fully fledged virtual address space and freeing
   their pre-allocated heap+stack area (necessary to let memory
   driver map in arbitrary areas of memory for /dev/mem without
   sys_vm_map)
 - small optimization preallocating memory on exec
 - finished VR_DIRECT physical mapping code

c078ec0331 Basic VM and other minor improvements.
Not complete, probably not fully debugged or optimized.
