Hi Dave,
Thank you for acking.
The reason I am not doing initializing stores is because they require a
membar, even if only regular stores are following (I hoped to do a
membar before first load). This is something I was thinking was not
true, but after consulting with colleagues and checking processor
manual, I verified that it is the case.

You should probably use initializing stores when you are doing 8
stores and we thus know the page struct is cache line aligned.
But other than that:
