what data structure will be efficient to use to manage what
pages are allocated for a process's
data area,
bss,
and stack.

Hmm... I'd go for a
struct of some kind. Perhaps
this link might help...

most of the time, the process keeps track of what *areas* are defined (like 08000000 -- 0B000000 is heap, 0B0000004 -- 0BFFFFFF is stack, etc) in an AVL tree
Then if you need to know what pages are used, you check the page directories within those ranges.
