I am not quite sure what the kernel heap has to do with it, but in
Haiku, we completely switched the address space, ie. user applications
now own the lower half of the address space - just like in Windows or
Linux, and unlike BeOS.
That alone should make your work a lot easier.
We haven't decided yet about an address space layout, but it's
definitely sure that Haiku will be very dynamic in that regard - if
there is address space left, it'll be used, there is no artificial
limit for anything. Only the heap currently needs to be contiguous,
although that could be solved as well.
