> Some kind of virtual memory driver that would map old pointers to new adresses transparently for the programs

You would need hardware support for this, since the hardware is what decides what gets returned when a program attempts to read from a memory location.

Hardware already does support virtual memory but the granularity is the page (which are a minimum of 4KiB in most OSs).
