That is going to be prohibitively expensive - needing it for each pte
whether it's pinned or not.

I really think the better option is a "don't do that then". This has
_never_ worked before either except by pure luck.

I also doubt anybody does it. forking with threads is a bad idea to
begin with. Doing so while pinning pages even more so.
