Due to restrictions in a microcontroller, we have 1MB available but can

We have successfully ported Lua but are running out of memory due to
this limitation so our thought is to have Lua use a 'paged' or 'banked'
memory scheme (i.e. addressing all of the 1MB by switching between pages).

Has anybody attempted this kind of alteration and/or can you point us in
the right direction as to how we may get started with this if indeed the
Lua source would even allow it without a substantial re-write?

Is the banking in ROM or RAM? And 16k? That's an awfully small window.

Can you share a few more details?
