I am porting a music/sound engine to DJGPP. I am wondering if there is
some better way of locking code and data for use in interrupt handlers.
Why can't you just say that everything in one object file is dangerous
and shouldn't be paged out? 

	Also, in my program, I -know- I don't have some parts of the interrupt
handler code and data locked, yet I never get page fault errors. How do
I force a page fault if it is possible to happen?
