[MiNT] Memory protection

[Mario Becroft <mb@tos.pl.net>]

I never was able to get the memory protection to work well in MiNT, I
didn't notice any of the GEM problems that people refer to because I can't
even get past the login prompt when memory protection is enabled.

However I have an idea that possibly partial memory protection could be
implemented, which while not ideal would be a lot better than none at all
(which is effectively what I've got now).

I imagine that with such a scheme, things like the kernel and its internal
memory, the disc buffer and maybe some other things could be protected.
This ought to prevent the very worst cases.

Is that a worthwhile idea?
