Yes, allocation granularity is the main problem.  Linux can mmap on a page
granularity, but all the Win32 implementations that I know of can only do
64K.

A couple months ago Erik Paulson mentioned that the native NT api function
ZwMapViewOfSection() may be able to allocate at a page granluarity.  He
mentioned that he'd try to take a look at it, but I guess he didn't have
the time.
