I have to admit, I like the idea of being able to swap out some code and
data. In particular, I have in mind my configuration manager stuff, much of
which remains pretty idle once the system has gone past it's initialisation
stage. Some, however, needs to remain in real memory because, at the very
least, it interacts directly with the interrupt handling stuff.
