FWIW, I really liked this patch series. And I think there is still value
in a generic "mlock" wrapper utility that I can use. Sure, the later on
containers suggestions are all wonderful in theory but I don't see that
that went anywhere either (and I disagree that we can't trust people to
use this right without doing silly things) - if I'm really right that
this got dropped on the floor, can we resurrect it in .31 please?

Jon.
