Hi,

Why the "size" parameter? I'd rather see a new wrapper for 
memory_object_create_proxy() which receives the same params but with the 
address instead of the original pager, which internally gets the pager 
from the address and calls memory_object_create_proxy(). After all, the 
only reason why I need the pager is to send it to 
memory_object_create_proxy() at netfs_impl.c:617 [1]. So why not skip 
one step?
