After two days of hammering the keyboard and getting increasingly annoyed, I've finally made constrained working memory for main VM work. It turned out better than I thought because it has some nice properties. Here's a short explanation:
When the VM has been loaded, it is again made copy-on-write and any forks will see the pagetables in the same way as before (without this feature). So, bottom line is: Not a single extra page is used, but we can still constrain pages used.
