VxDcall PageSwap_Test_Create
 
The PageSwap_Test_Create service determines whether the virtual pageswap
device can satisfy the specified allocation request. The VMM memory manager
calls this service to check requests before allocating the memory.
 
The virtual pageswap device can satisfy the request if the request is less
than or equal to the size of the swap file plus any physical memory not yet
mapped to linear addresses.
