I think you will find the memory management model used to track objects
to be too incompatable with kernel memory management. Most of the JVMs
I have run across (only two, so limited experience here) indicate that
they expect a flat memory modle, and do not handle holes in memory at
all since that breaks the security model being implemented.

Now if it were the JavaOS now, that is a different animal. But it isn't
Linux.
