Like I established in my opening comment, C tells you how software works, not how hardware works. Regardless, you're still wrong in several ways here. Making it out of several discontinuous regions of memory doesn't make your heap less of a heap. Most architectures also provide instructions for loading data from the stack and optimize for this purpose, using their caches more efficiently and making design decisions which have clearly been influenced by the C (or System V) ABI.
