What do you think about just storing the zbud page metadata inline in the memory page in the first zbud page chunk? Mel, this kinda hurts you plans for making NCHUNKS = 2, since there would only be one chunk available for storage and would make zbud useless. Just a way to sidestep this whole issue.
