Is this an indication that full virtual address spaces are useless?  It
would seem like if you only use virtual address segments then you avoid all

What do you mean with *virtual address segments*? The nice part of first class
virtual address spaces is that one can share/reuse collections of address space
segments easily.

What do *I* mean?  You introduced the term, didn't you?
Rereading your original I see you called them "VAS segments".

Anyway, whatever they are called, it would seem that these segments do not require any of the syncing mechanisms that are causing you problems.
