MS Windows - PageFile VIRTUAL DEVICE - GET LOCK BYTE

AX = 1607h
BX = 0021h (PageFile VxD ID)
CX = 0000h

Return:
AX = status 0000h success ES:DI -> cache lock byte in disk cacher other no disk cache or unsupported

Notes: PageFile issues this call on real-mode initialization in order to allow disk caches to provide it with a byte which it can use to temporarily lock the disk cache; VMPOLL also issues this call, so it is made twice each time Windows starts up. If this call fails, PageFile falls back to other techniques for locking the disk cache
