I haven't studied it from this particular perspective, and without doing 
so would only be guessing.  But I have to ask, why do you state this. 
As far as I know the VMS DLM has not much to do with the "kernel" of 
VMS, supposing there is a definition of that entity.

Remember, the VMS DLM does no enforcing.  It is strictly a utility that 
can maintain a database of locks and cooperating processes can be guided 
by the utility.
