Thanks Libor, this is much better explanation of the problem than what I posted.

I doubt it. I tried this with an earlier 2.6 kernel, and get_user_pages() was still not
enough to really pin the memory down. Maybe it works in 2.6.12, but that doesn't help me
any, because our driver needs to support all 2.4 and 2.6 kernels. Currently, mlock()
alone seems to be good enough, but I'm going to add calls to get_user_pages() just to be sure.
