description:
* set winsize to memwinsize in initial getwindow().  makes no functional
  difference, but looks less like a debug hack leftover.
* explain memory windows vs. directio a little better in comment

  * I/O operation.  It also gives finer-grained control of how to
  * flush data.  Additionally, in case the rump kernel dumps core,
  * we get way less carnage.

+ * However, it is quite costly in writing large amounts of
+ * file data, since old contents cannot merely be overwritten, but
+ * must be paged in first before replacing (i.e. r/m/w).  Ideally,
+ * we should use directio.  The problem is that directio can fail
+ * silently causing improper file system semantics (i.e. unflushed
+ * data).  Therefore, default to mmap for now.  Even so, directio
+ * _should_ be safe and can be enabled by compiling this module
+ * with -DHAS_DIRECTIO.
