We're usually pretty picky about adding stuff to 'struct page'. It
_just_ fits inside a cacheline on most 32-bit architectures.
Can this wired_count not be derived at runtime? It seems like it would
be possible to run through all VMAs mapping the page, and determining
how many of them are VM_LOCKED. Would that be too slow?
Also, does it matter how many times it is locked, or just that
_somebody_ has it locked?
