Well, I kind of don't like having allproc_lock/unlock functions.
I would prefer explicit lockmgr() calls with on an allproc_lock
variable.  Also, we might consider having a very early
SI_SUB_LOCKS_INIT that initializes lots of locks such as allproc_lock
and the callout wheel mutex.  Also, did you see my lock list document?
Looks like I need to update it so it can handle lockmgr locks. :-P
