If the beginning part of the PMD is not mapped at the destination, I thought maybe a whole PMD could be moved to it. But I guess not because we don't want those contents to be accessible. So then in that case we have to forbid the optimization for all intra-VMA moves except those involving the stack. I will think more about it. Thanks, - Joel
