I like this idea.

Note that potentially your patch would make it possible for a jailed
root to DoS the whole system by locking too much of pages in memory.
I think it would be sensible to provide a per-jail flag to enable
doing it, or better, have some finer grained control (e.g. per jail
quota of permitted locked pages).

Why did the application want to lock pages in main memory, though?
