The name "Wired" could be changed to which one most kids think better

I choosed "Wired" for:
"Locked" will conflict with PG_locked bit of a pags.
"Pinned" indicates a short-term lock,so not fits the job too.


Err we're going around in circles here. This tangent started because
I suggested that you could call them "mlock" or "mlocked".

But don't get too hung up on the naming. I pointed out quite a lot
of much more fundamental problems.
