This would need a change in the handling of how a file is locked/accessed. A lock would need to be made on all the nodes that could respond with the file. AFR doesn't quite do this, the primary node (first one on the AFR list) is the one that acts as the lock server. If this could be overcome, then you'd have most of the components you need.
What about a quorum locking solution like DLM provides? I think it doesn't matter if the server(s) that have copies of the files agree to the file lock, as long as any server that wants a lock knows to get approval from the quorum.
