Let's say for a moment we have statistics enough in the kernel to know how 
many times a page is being locked (mlock(2) 'reference' counts).

What's the statistical distribution of the counts? How many times on average 
are pages mlock()'ed? How many times maximum?

Numbers? Benchmarks? Test cases?

Have fun,
Chris
