.. and presumably also execve()?

I do like us starting with just "mimmutable()", since it already
exists. Particularly if chrome already knows how to use it.

Maybe add a flag field (require it to be zero initially) just to allow
any future expansion. Maybe the chrome team has *wanted* to have some
finer granularity thing and currently doesn't use mimmutable() in some
case?
