I think that the general expectation would be that mmap_read_file_perms is a
superset of read_file_perms.  Is there any reason why mmap_read_file_perms
doesn't include lock permission?  If not I think we should add it to avoid
surprises.

You are correct, it should be a proper superset. However, my preference would be to go the other way and eliminate lock from read_file_perms, which is what I'm trying to do with mmap_read_file_perms not being a proper superset.
