/*
 * If the CPU is in fact a 68000/10 then the only type of 'swaping' is full
 * task swapping, ie no paging. I don't know if BSD was ever envisioned for
 * a purely swaping environment. However, SYSV-mumble-foo, and V6 un*x were.

Didn't the *very* first release of BSD swap full images as well as do
paging?  I thought that BSD was capable of complete swaps as far forward
as 4.1 (but my memory may be failing me -- I was a newbie just at the
release point of 4.2.  Man, talk about a slow system!).

How much would it take to decouple the paging code as a compile-time
option (dependent on config and, of course, the CPU type)?
