Although Carl has made the implementation of virtual memory 'by default' difficult because of the use of Forbid() rather than semaphores, virtual memory can still be allocated on demand otherwise. It is possible to add information to a hunk header to tell LoadSeg to load that hunk into virtual memory, thus it would be possible to eventually have VM-friendly programs automatically get virtual memory by default.
