    kernel - Implement mlockall() properly
    
    * Implement mlockall()'s MCL_CURRENT, and generalaly reimplement mlockall()
      using linux-like expectations.  This generally means that the system
      will do a best-effort to allocate and lock the memory associated with
      the process's address space.
    
    * Prior semantics which disallowed protection changes on locked memory have
      been removed.  Modern applications assume that protection changes will
      work on locked memory, even if it would force a fault.
    
    * As with linux, some license is taken and mlockall() will only force fault
      any copy-on-write flagged anonymous pages at the time of the call.  It
      will not force a copy-on-write operation on unmodified file-backed pages
      that have been mapped MAP_PRIVATE, but not yet modified (still represent
      the file's actual content).  Nor will it force-fault the parent process's
      pages when the parent issues a fork() (which forces all anonymous pages in
      both the parent and child to become copy-on-write).
    
      Such pages can still take a write-fault and be COWd.  The resulting newly
      allocated page will be wired as expected.
