The following patch would cause SIGXCPU to be sent to emerging real-time 
threads from a non-fully mlocked program (i.e. not including 
MCL_FUTURE). We should make this conditionally compiled too. I'm not 
sure that we would not introduce problems when dealing with mmio areas 
mapped in user-space at least for older kernel revisions (the VM_IO 
issue might have been fixed in recent kernels, though), this is why I 
would tend to make it easy to work around this check by simply ignoring 
the signal, for handling specific init configurations for which people 
know what they are doing.
