Why should we do this? I'm not going to replay parts individually,
I'm going to write entire pages to OS cache and than apply changes to
them. Recovery is considered as succeeded after server is ensured
that all applyed changes are on the disk. In the case of crash during
recovery we'll replay entire game.
