Thanks.  That looks better.  I've applied it with some minor formatting
changes.

I then went to look at the follow-up page and .....
I count 11 separate places where you test the new flag and possibly memset a
page to zero.  This doesn't seem like an improvement to me.

Why don't we just mark the page as not up-to-date when we discard it?  That
would avoid storing inconsistent data, and would avoid needing to zero pages.
