I haven't started looking at performance yet, except to sanity check it
- but it should be substantially better, mostly due to getting rid of
dio->pages.
As far as touching shared cachelines I don't think it's any different
than the old code, though.
There's also icache, which should be hugely better.
But the code's changed so much I'll have to spend some time optimizing
it before I can make a reasonable comparison, after I've finished with
all the correctness issues.
