I think the best fix is to have the ramdisk using the same aops of ramfs and replace "Secure" with "Uptodate". We need to trap the security issue at the higher layer and also this will avoid us having to map useless bh, so it should be an improvement, only the filesystem will end triggering the ->make_request callback of the ramdisk. Then if the fs does I/O on stuff out of the physical address space we'll just clear it out.
