Pinned in the AIX-style "pinned memory" sense? Succinctly, AIX allows userland programs to tag memory pages so as to guarantee that they will not be swapped to backing store. Portions of the _KERNEL_ are paged out instead if necessary.
I assume that the pinning is of the AIX sort and that it is desirable, if not necessary, for the realtime throughput guarantee policy.
