The important requirement, I think, is that we need to support
managing "memory-naive" uncooperative tasks (perhaps legacy ones
written before cross-process memory management even became possible),
and I think that the cooperative-vs-uncooperative distinction matters
a lot more than the tgid of the thread doing the memory manipulation.
(Although in our case, we really do need a separate tgid. :-))
Agreed here and that requires some sort of revalidation and failure on
"object has changed" in one form or another IMHO.
