I want to drop the MADV_DONTFORK for dynamic data memory allocated by
the application layers (eg with malloc) without knowledge of how they
will be used.
This case is a buffer internal to the communication system that we
know at allocation time how it will be used; so an explicit,
deliberate, MADV_DONTFORK is fine
