I don't see why it would be unsolvable if you limit the expectation
of reasonable latency to processes that have mlockall()ed and
allocated all the memory they need in advance (and don't have to wait
on processes that haven't). Obviously, the latency for actually
allocating memory isn't going to be too good in such a case (though
strict no-overcommit could decrease the latency of failure to
allocate).
