I have an application that takes up over 2 GB of memory but is
otherwise demanding virtually no other resources at all.
Running multiple instances of the application using physical memory
isn't an option. Would it be hard to change Qemu's
physical memory mapping to a file on disk ? (Not Qemu-KVM, just stock Qemu).
