If I'm not mistaken, the MMU is only used in the SPARSEMEM case.
Currently we use DISCONTIGMEM.
Yes, currently, but I thought using SPARSEMEM wou

Yes, going out of memory when allocating the page table arrays? That

So we could use that on a RAM block device instead of an SSD.
Still we would have the additional layer and workload of swapping. I
think that approach is fairly o

I found that ZoRAM does 12 MiB/s.

256MB RAM extensions via ZorroIII bus
and the port would highly benefit from supporting multiple memory
chunks. Is this possible?
