I might actually need mlockall(), but even that seems feasible.

It seems very dangerous to have anything whose purpose is to respond to out-of-memory conditions and *not* lock it into memory. (What we really need is a way to say 'make this process less overcommitted'. If you do that and then do all the work in a thread, or do a bit of mprotect() work, you can even avoid stack expansions causing OOM.)
