Could you please detail the following points:
- what would be the API of this atfork() mechanism (with an example of
how it would be used in the library)?
- how do you find the correct order to acquire locks in the parent process?
- what do you do with locks that can be held for arbitrarily long
(e.g. I/O locks)?
