Virtual memory

I have a basic understanding of how VM works so I am trying to get
my head around how it could be implemented.

Implementing a full VM in one go is a big task unless the functionality
can be borrowed from BSD or Linux. I assume that this isn't easy either.

Can VM be implemented in stages ?

Start with a simple VM that uses VM tables and the MMU but treats
memory exactly as it does now.

Then later, enable the VM to fragment memory and lastly enable paging
onto disc.
