--experimental-memory-mlock support

CHANGELOG-3.5.md

@@ -149,7 +149,7 @@ Note that any `etcd_debugging_*` metrics are experimental and subject to change.
 - Add [`--self-signed-cert-validity`](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/12429) flag to support setting certificate expiration time.
   - Notice, certificates generated by etcd are valid for 1 year by default when specifying the auto-tls or peer-auto-tls option.
 - Add [`--experimental-warning-apply-duration`](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/12448) flag which allows apply duration threshold to be configurable.
-
+- Add [`--experimental-memory-mlock`](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/TODO)" flag which prevents etcd memory pages to be swapped out.
 ### Package `runtime`
 
 - Optimize [`runtime.FDUsage` by removing unnecessary sorting](https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd/pull/12214).
