Re: memory mapped store entries

Memory mapped store entries is BAD because we have no control over how the
system stalls when it needs to flush data out to disk, or with it stalling
when the data needs to be paged in from disk to do a change.

I vote VERY strongly against any form of mmap() data access unless it is
wrapped within a thread to separate page fault activity away from the main
thread.
