So, if we can figure out how to do it, great, but the fact

Sure, but maybe there is too much flexibility that isn't really
needed, rather a more GC friendly one, which still allows for
typical systems programming use cases.
A good approach would be to do a bit of archeology and try to
research how GC enabled systems programming languages like
Cedar, Modula-3, Oberon derivatives and Sing# had their GCs
implemented across the available compilers. And respective OS.
To certain extent, they were good enough to produce workable
desktop OS.

The action that cause trouble for the GC are already defined as
undefined by spec and @system. For once, we did things right with
the spec.
