Well I guess you would have to bring up the locking infrastructure and lock
any blocks in the record you're applying (sorted first to avoid deadlocks). As
I understand it we don't use locks during recovery now but I'm not sure if
that's just because we don't have to or if there are practical problems which
would have to be solved to do so.
