unprivileged mlock(2), munlock(2) patches

Recently, seahorse decided to refuse to operate when GNOME 2.22 was merged in. This was due to FreeBSD lacking unprivileged access to mlock(2) and munlock(2). I've got some patches up on a section discussing this: mlock-support. There are patches to fix Seahorse so that it doesn't crash just because there is no mlock(2) support (bad behavior), as well as a kernel patch to make unprivileged access available on your machine.
