Just my two cents on the fly.. using page faults for GC barriers *heavily*
depends on the OS exception speed. I remember we did that for OS/2 and ended up
just using it for "sbrk-ing" the bottom-most alloc areas (by means of guard
pages). Besides its portability problems, its not a performance-panacea, too.
