[win-pv-devel] [PATCH] Make sure Mdl->StartVa is set by __AllocatePages()

[Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

wdm.h carries this comment:

// Notice that while in the context of the subject thread, the base virtual
// address of a buffer mapped by an MDL may be referenced using the
// following:
//
//      Mdl->StartVa | Mdl->ByteOffset
//

Hence it is important that a mapped MDL has a valid StartVa field as well
as a valid MappedSystemVa field. Unfortunately, for reasons best known to
Microsoft, MmMapLockedPagesSpecifyCache() does not ensure this is the
case, so it needs to be fixed up by __AllocatePages() itself.
