The idea there being that you don't have to have the data in memory at 
all unless the page explicitly asks for it, and then giving the page the 
option of only mapping some of the data into memory?

I think that's a good idea, yes.

What I'm not quite sure about is why it needs to be a state flag which 
makes it an open-time all-or-nothing decision, other than implementor 
convenience....
