I haven't ported it yet, so I'm not sure what happened to page lists.
They were supposed to be kept around to have representations of each
page (and associated mapping).

The big key is making sure that Stephen and Scott's respective raw
I/O patches make the appropriate translation into the 2.3.X tree.
If you need help with that, let me know.  I'll try to put a public
list of the features we'd like to work on (or see if others are
interested in working on).  There's lots of cool stuff to do.
