This wouldn't work too well for me in the case of thread stacks because 
we need to map out parts of the stack and, although we want large 
virtual stacks, we don't want do dedicate that much physical memory. Is 
it really difficult to support mixed pages sizes in the general case, 
e.g., save/restore etc.?
