Clearing MAY_CACHE flag on a pager initiates a memory object
termination if this one is not referenced anymore. If the object has a
significant number of dirty pages (i.e. a file recently created was
unlinked before diskfs periodical sync) this operation generates a lot
of stress on the translator.

Hi,
it looks like we need two fundamental decisions now, or else the
contraints become too fuzzy for developing the desired feature:
1: Shall the new call be implemented on the kernel side as a
new method of struct device_emulation_ops ?
2: Shall the parameters be bundled in serialized struct
