[ros-dev] Some proposed mm edits to sort out address space locking

[art yerkes]

Since our MmNotPresentFault handler and kin need to lock the
associated MADDRESS_SPACE, we often need to lock an address space
when it's already been locked.  Until now, this has caused a
recursive acquisition of a kernel mutex.

The current kernel bugchecks for me when running the wget binary
here:

So I've added a boolean to MADDRESS_SPACE to specify that it's been
locked and propogated its use (and also disentangled this flag from
the one specifying that pages are locked in various cases).

The patch is here:

http://www.superheterodyne.net/reactos/mm_edit/mm.diff

There's a sore spot in section.c at line 684 where I got a bugcheck,
but it was easy enough to check for a NULL region.  This probably
isn't right however.

jimtabor was seeing bugchecks at startup that are at least
apparently solved by this patch, but I'm sure that those more in
tune with the kernel can weigh in on whether we should do something
like this or whether the real problem is deeper or different.
