Add a pool for locked memory chunks, replacing LockedPageManager. This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time. The current approach of locking objects where they happen to be on the stack or heap in-place causes a lot of mlock/munlock system call overhead, slowing down any handling of keys. Also locked memory is a limited resource on many operating systems (and using a lot of it bogs down the system), so the previous approach of locking every page that may contain any key information (but also other information) is wasteful.
