There is a dpmi call, __dpmi_lock... something or other.  Should be in the
info libc dpmi reference.  Also,
the faq probaly has a bit about it.  In assembly just define a label at the
end of your function, and subtract the 
entry symbol from it to get the size of the function.

I asked this several months ago as was told that all real mode memory was
automatically locked.

I suspect you will have to define your own bitmasks to detect them.  

#define CARRY_BIT 1
#define PARITY_BIT 4
#define AUX_BIT       16
#define ZERO_FLAG 64
#define SIGN_BIT      128

or sth. similar.
