Please call this ramblock_dirty_info; we use 'block' a lot to mean
disk block and it gets confusing.

Is there a reason you don't just use a RAMBlock *  here?

Please comment these; if I understand correctly, that's an array
of page indexes into the block generated from the random numbers

If I understand, this is an array of hashes end-to-end for
all the pages in this RAMBlock?
