Subject: Looking for links: Why Linux Doesn't Page Kernel Memory?

I have spent some time working on AIX, which pages its kernel memory. 
 It pins the interrupt handler functions, and any data that they access, 
but does not pin the other code.

I'm looking for links as to why (unless I'm mistaken) Linux doesn't do 
this, so I can better understand the system.

Thanks, and sorry for the broadcast message.  My web search turned up 
nothing.
