Well why can't VM and paging be configured on boot?
You would have a system dump/restore mode that dumps
all the register contents. Also 1 MB is very small to boot
from nowdays --- look how big the linux kernal is.
Also would not splitting the CPU in to smaller segments
like CPU only Memory Management, I/O and Basic OS functions
handeled by other well abstracted CPU blocks?
