	Wouldn't it be possible to phase in mmu support by having a mechanism to
let the os know if your program can handle having an mmu protect things from it.This way the things would progressively become more stable as more of these new
prgs appear - old prgs would just have their protection mask set to have access
to all memory and they'd never know the difference...
