Went through it - I had some questions and spotted some issues that are
pretty easy to fix.

Otherwise I think you just need to flesh it out with more comments, links
to the specs or just copy the relevant parts.

And little puzzled by the usage of 8 pages instead of doing it via 11.
But that is probably not a big deal since you are doing each I/O request
synchronously anyhow.

Thank you for posting this and developing it!
