I must confess I have a hard time figuring out the semantic difference
between map_mutex and revmap_mutex. or rather, what is the use of
revmap_mutex once map_mutex is taken. They fundamentally overlap, and
I have the feeling one should eventually replace the other.

If anything, you should absolutely define/document how these two locks
interact.

Thanks,

	M.
