NtProtectVirtualMemory

   Hi,

I have a question about internals of
NtProtectVirtualMemory.

it seems this api doesn't change the protection inside VAD, but
only in the actual PTEs.

That, I think, leaves VAD somewhat out-of-date.
Just wondering why it is so, and also if there are other ways the protection in the VADs
can be incorrect.
