nah, I'm just leaving all the stuff I already implemented in there. no point in
wasting more time to delete something that's useful.

it has several blocks of memory, since stuff like the stack is always mapped at
the other end of the user address space.

e.g. the memory mappings at startup of a simple static-linked binary:
    Start Addr           End Addr       Size     Offset objfile
    0x10000000         0x100b0000    0xb0000        0x0 /home/jacob/a.out
    0x100b0000         0x100d0000    0x20000    0xa0000 /home/jacob/a.out
0x7ffff7fe0000     0x7ffff8000000    0x20000        0x0 [vdso]
0x7ffffffd0000     0x800000000000    0x30000        0x0 [stack]

so I put one block at 0x7fff... up to 0x800000000000 for the stack and stuff
that likes getting mapped to high addresses and one block
starting at address 0x0 for everything else. I implemented all of that in bug
#1173.
