Thanks for posting it again. I tried to read through it
and point out a few things I noticed. It's been a while
since v2, so I may have forgotten things we already discussed.

I did not see any major issues here, the main things that
take work to implement (better atomics, vmemmap, also vmap_stack
which I did not mention) are just there to make your code
better, but are not required to get it merged.

Do you have a timeline for upstream compiler support?  I see that
your github trees contain both llvm and gcc forks on an older
baseline (gcc-12.2 and llvm-15, respectively), but I don't know
how much you have already submitting for inclusion in a newer
release.
