Part of the code to handle that is on my homepage,
but as I haven't worked out how to decide when to
start this code I haven't made a patch yet...

If you are interested, could you please look into
it? (my time is now completely consumed by reviewing
the zone allocator's design, a week camp with our
Scouts group and finetuning the VM system for 2.2)

If anyone else is reading this, could you please
think about how this task is accomplished and work
something out together? (I'll be away from sunday
12th until saterday the 19th)

Rik.
