The hardware has always worked this way - it's defined in its principle of operations that I/O is part of the "change recording" mechanism. It is important to the other operating systems running on this architecture that a paged changed as a result of I/O is made known to the hardware so these pages can be swapped out if needed. > By the way, your approach sounds fine. What happens when you try it? I'll find out soon. I just wanted to think aloud and see if others familiar with this type of stuff could shoot holes in what I was envisaging.
