I was wondering how difficult it might be to 'integrate' virtual memory
with the file system process.  I'm told that the Multics operating system
mapped a file into the virtual address space when it was opened.
Would this be of any advantages (smaller code size, simpler semantics?)
in a Minix-based system?
