Ok, I was just looking the context of your diff.

About the implementation of the missing VM infrastructure for handling page
dirty at the physical pagecache layer, I'd suggest to change ramfs to use a new
PG_protected bitfield with the current semantics of PG_dirty, and to use
PG_dirty for the stuff that we must flush to disk.
