Re: [PATCH v6] add MAP_UNLOCKED mmap flag

I can't realistically chase every address space mapping changes and mlock
new areas. The only way other then mlockall() is to use custom memory
allocator that allocates mlocked memory.
Which keeps all the special cases in your app rather than in every single
users kernel. That seems to be the right way up, especially as you can
make a library of it !
