You could lock them? 

I certainly don't agree that paging should be turned off, why would
you risk a core dump over a few milliseconds delay?

Anyone know how to force a page to memory without accessing it? (Like
what you would do in order to avoid CPU cache misses) Could be handy
when you know that you are going to a certain set of pages, real
soon...
