after the write call returns?
A write() return of success means:
"I wrote what you gave to me"
not
"I wrote what you gave to me, oh and BTW don't touch these
pages for a while."
In fact "a while" isn't even defined in any way, as there is no way
for the write() invoker to know when the networking card is done with
those pages.
