Here is a curious question:

If I hold a page key to a data page, does the key give me authority to 
that page, or does it in some way convey authority over the disk page
frame that the page occupies?

In particular, if I hold a data page key should I be entitled to
demand that the page object convert itself into an initially zero
capability page (and vice versa)?
