Not sure if it's this level the question refers to, but PE sections have a
"not paged" flag that is used for just this purpose (bit 27 I think). Using
MS tools, "dumpbin /headers" on an existing windows driver, e.g. atapi.sys
displays this (and using the MSVC linker this bit is set with
"/section:name,P").

On a (ROS kernel-) code level I believe you're on the right track with:
