That sounds like a more complicated topic than anything I had
in mind. I think a »std.virtualmemory« module should already
implement all the primitives in a portable form, so we don't
have to do that again for the next use case. Since
cross-platform code is always hard to get right, it could also
avoid latent bugs.
I had an idea of core.vmm. It didn't survive the last review though,
plus I never got around to test OSes aside from Windows & Linux.
Comments on initial design are welcome.

That's exactly what I had in mind and more. :)
Cool.
I was ambitious at start until I released that there were about 5-6
logically consistent primitives of which many OS-es provided say 3 or 4
with little or inexact overlap. That's why I thought of focusing on
common recipes, and provide building blocks for them.
These are all free functions that can be used as building
blocks for more specific objects. Was there a dedicated review
thread on the news group? All I could find was a discussion
about why not to use a VMM struct with static functions as
a namespace replacement.
I don't recall such but I think I did a tiny topic on it in general D NG.
