What I was getting at was if hardware FP isn't around I'd predict an MMU won't be either.
I'd tend to disagree with this, especially in the higher-end embedded market (ie anything based on a modern RISC core). There's quite a few MIPS and PowerPC based CPUs around that don't have FP but do have fully functioning MMUs. Now, as to whether or not your operating environment provides mmap() (and it's efficency if it does) is a different question :-)
