Rule 1 of an RFC.  Explain why it is an RFC rather than simply a
patch.  What needs comment here in particular?

One thing that needs doing is a documentation update to reflect
the additional elements buf_lock is now protecting.

I think the use is sensible and can't otherwise see any issue with
this patch.

Thanks,
