This seems strange. I understand that NT 5.x has a limitation of 64 MB MDLs on x86, but direct I/O was designed for exactly this case of large I/O operations. Has anyone verified that 2k3 doesn’t do MDL chaining for direct I/O when the transfer is larger than a single MDL can hold?

Also aren’t there changes to the IRP dispatch routines required to cope with not having an Irp->MdlAddress pointer anymore?
