Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] 01/01: [NULL] Additions for the Null driver.

[Ged Murphy]

They're pagable in NT6, I don't know whether that's the case in NT5.

Change looks good to me, I'm not really sure why Alex used NNP? 
Perhaps our kernel does/did things slightly differently back when he wrote the Null
driver?

Are you sure FAST_IO_DISPATCH is allowed to be pageable? It seems to only be used at low
IRQLs, so it seems logical. However I see it allocated nonpaged everywhere else and
can't seem to find definitive documentation on the subject.
(And yes, most filesystem drivers use a static structure, but those
  drivers don't use MmPageEntireDriver)

Thanks,
Thomas
