Description:
------------
I was looking for a way to store encryption keys in (guaranteed to be non-swap) memory, and apparently setting the SHM_LOCK flag on a shared memory segment seems to be the only way to do that.

Obviously, PHP doesn't expose shmctl() directly and that's probably for a good reason, but can we have something like shmop_lock(), or an optional parameter to shmop_open()?

(on a related note, shmop_stat() would be nice too)

SHM_LOCK is not part of POSIX[1], so might not be available
everywhere, and I don't think there's anything like that on
Windows.
