I can't see why it shouldn't be 'exo-ish'. The primary exo principle is
that the system shouldn't enforce any abstractions that aren't strictly
necessary for protection. If the kernel can make sure that processes are
still protected from each other without using multiple address spaces I
see no reason not to. On the other hand I can't see the benefits of
mapping all *physical* memory into one address space.
