[coyotos-dev] EROS small processes

In the "Network Subsystems Reloaded" paper, I noted that the domain
factored network stack took advantage of how EROS deal with very small
processes (section 3):

  ``The helpers are highly specialized and therefore small (<128 KB).
  The EROS kernel transparently allocates such small processes to small
  address spaces [...] to reduce context switch overheads.''

Will this feature of EROS be retained in Coyotos?

Lightly,
Pierre
