Why not? That's quite similar to what a PDD does. But I fear it doesn't
help the problem. You need some way to tell the system to swap a particular
page into memory without blocking, else the timer int polls forever. VMLock
doesn't do this, it just offers you to block or fail.

One possible solution, although it looks a little funny as it reverses the
usual program-driver relationship: Run a daemon (an application-level
program, RUN=xyz.EXE) to get the offending pages swapped in, one (or a few)
at a time. The daemon sits waiting in a driver call, perhaps swapped out
itself, until the driver needs some swapped out page and maps it into the
daemons address space.
