The fortnate case is that I was just thinking about something like this.
I.e. to split ALL the memory to 4 k pages then remap all these free pages
to largest free blocks using PMMU (exactly as you just said). I even did
some paperdesign :) but it seems to be not so easy as its said. However,
perhaps swapping such organized memory would be much easier...

This problem (as well as the VM on 030 computers) will be hopefully
ultimately solved soon.
