vslock, vsunlock — lock/unlock user space addresses in memory

       The  vslock() and vsunlock() functions respectively lock and unlock a range of addresses belonging to the
       currently running process into memory.  The actual amount of memory locked is a multiple of the machine's
       page size.  The starting page number is computed  by  truncating  addr  to  the  nearest  preceding  page
       boundary,  and  by rounding up addr+len to the next page boundary.  The process context to use for this
       operation is taken from the global variable curproc.

       The vslock() function will fail if:

       [EINVAL]           The addr and len parameters specify a memory range that wraps around the  end  of  the
                          machine address space.

       [ENOMEM]           The size of the specified address range exceeds the system limit on locked memory.

       [EFAULT]           Some  portion  of  the  indicated  address range is not allocated.  There was an error
                          faulting/mapping a page.
