ac20919b13 Kernel: Make it possible to turn off VM guard pages at compile time
This might be useful for debugging since guard pages introduce a fair
amount of noise in the virtual address space.

9c549c178a Kernel: Pad virtual address space allocations with guard pages
Put one unused page on each side of VM allocations to make invalid
accesses more likely to generate crashes.

Note that we will not add this guard padding for mmap() at a specific
memory address, only to "mmap it anywhere" requests.

7afc0fb9c8 Kernel: Forked children should inherit their RangeAllocator by copy.
Otherwise we'll start handing out addresses that are very likely already in
use by existing ranges.

c414e65498 Kernel: Implement a simple virtual address range allocator.
This replaces the previous virtual address allocator which was basically
just "m_next_address += size;"

With this in place, virtual addresses can get reused, which cuts down on
the number of page tables created. When we implement ASLR some day, we'll
probably have to do page table deallocation, but for now page tables are
only deallocated once the process dies.
