There are one bunch of people running Linux on a flat memory space with no protection although their goal was to make Linux run on mmuless embedded hardware.
See www.uclinux.org; the uclinux guys started a 2.4 port recently. Basically the idea is to have a mm-nommu/ directory which implements a mostly compatible replacement for the mm layer (obviously stuff like mmap dont work without an mmu and fork is odd), and a set of binary loaders to load flat binaries with relocations.
That I think is the project that overlaps ..
