	Not difficult??  Not difficult, he says.  Maybe HE'D like to
make this work with all those programs that misuse/don't use MEMF_PUBLIC?
Also, even non-MEMF_PUBLIC memory may well still have to be readable, at
least for old programs.  Not to say it can't be done, but just that it's
still a sizable can of worms.
