[RESEND PATCH 2/3] Add mlockall flag for locking pages on fault

From: Eric B Munson
Date: Fri May 29 2015 - 10:13:58 EST


Building on the previous patch, extend mlockall() to give a process a
way to specify that pages should be locked when they are faulted in, but
that pre-faulting is not needed.
