[ Random though... but maybe the line-eater will eat it. ]

Maybe MEMF_PUBLIC should be tracked as to who uses it and once all
those processes are gone, the OS can deallocate them.  Just what the
Amiga needs, a bunch of graph-theory subroutines!  Anyone for
graph-theory.library :-)

Then, we can have MEMF_NEWPUBLIC which would be followed by calls like
"Now_let_process_xxx_have_control_over_that_memory()" or "I_no_longer_
need_access_to_that_memory()" or "I'm_taking_control_away_from_process_
xxx_of_that_memory()".

// AAAAGH!  I'm partaking in this useless "how to add memory protection"
// discussion when I know that *IF* C-A plans on adding MMU support
// they'll put better qualified people than myself on the job!
