    Yuch.  The page address extension junk is just that... junk.  Besides,
    as was mentioned it wouldn't help mmap() at all.  Registers are 32 bits
    and nobody is going to revisit the segmentation (retch) stuff.   Ugh, two
    icky things in one paragraph, excuse me please while I take a trip to the 
    bathroom!
