heh, I thought of a similar approach at the same time as you but missed
this mail until later. However, with this approach I suspect there is a
possibility that two walkers of the same anon_vma list could livelock if
two locks on the list are held at the same time. Am still thinking of
how it could be resolved without introducing new locking.
