The _GetNulPageHandle service returns the memory handle of the system nul
page. This page is used to occupy regions of the address space which are
unused but for which it is not desirable to cause a page fault when
accessed. The system nul page can be mapped to multiple locations in the
system, so its contents are always random.
 
This service has no parameters.
 
Return Value
 
The EAX register contains the memory handle of the system nul page.
