This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com I just want to know, whenever we load IOKit driver using kextload command, does IOKit driver wired down in the memory or can it be paged out whenever there is a lack of memory? and what about the xnu_kernel, I think it can't be paged out otherwise who will do this paging? If I asked a very silly question, please pardon me for it. smime.p7s
