It is possible but not without more work. Asterisk would need to
parse the output of the memory map in /proc/<pid>/maps and figure
out where the modules are mapped into the current process' address
space and then lock only those pages. Also, this would require
knowing exactly which modules are needed at first. Since Asterisk
really should be run in a soft real-time fashion, I still
believe it's preferrable to figure out which modules are needed and
then making sure all those pages can stay resident in memory.
