If we really thought this was true, it would be straightforward enough
to bump the mlock limits for users and get some of the high-touch apps
to lock their text sections.  I can add this to the X server tomorrow
trivially even without that (the joys of being root).

I'm not _that_ convinced.  I mean, the way to measure this is to look at
the io trace hooks and see what you end up reading in.  I'd be mildly
surprised if it was text sections.
