Hello,
Why send the kernel back to the 2.0 days? There is no valid reason for
doing this with they way x86 segmentation works, which is why it was
done away with in 2.1.
But with segmentation you can set code to be read-only,
disallow execution from stack, separate modules so that they
will not affect kernel and more...
The main problem with segmentation is that it is x86 specific...
