Yes, I have looked at adding this into CWSDPMI.  If you are interested,
you can drop me a message, but in a nutshell, there are some real problems
since the granularity of memory isn't as fine, you waste alot (you do have
a 64Mb machine, right?) and it causes grief with VCPI providers.  I came
to the conclusion that supporting a non-pageable version would be a more
effective solution.
