Previous attempts [1] at fixing the resource leak have been deemed unsuccessful because of limitations around what can be done without breaking the ABI. Now that we've broken the EAL ABI, we can fix this issue properly.
This patchset is adding a new lock API, as well as fixes the actual issue. The patchset dependson the FreeBSD fixes [2], as well as the mem config patchset [3].
