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)
