      Background

      T1: Generic Query Thread: Holds: Nothing, Acquires DBLock(R), Waits on T2
T2: REMAPPRIVATEVIEW Thread: Holds DBLock(W). Acquires: LockMongoFilesExclusive, Waits T3
T3: Flush: Holds LockMongoFilesShared, Waits: I/o

      Problem: Remap on Windows & Solaris is not atomic, we need to guard access to memory while mmap is occuring.
      Fix: Since there is only one writer, we only need to guard readers against remap. Add a dedicated lock for this, and do not use the LockMongoFilesxxx

      The writer does not need the lock since he has sequential consistency, he either reads/writes view or remaps, not both at the same time.
