Precisely.  That's why I suggested that we have an alternative vma->vm_flag
bit which behaves in a similar manner to VM_LOCKED (say, VM_LOCKED_KERNEL),
only userspace cannot alter it.

How about calling it VM_PINNED?  That way, we can define

Locked - won't be swapped to disk, but can be moved around in memory
Pinned - won't be swapped to disk or moved around in memory
