Locking vertex normals using Maya API

OpenMaya.MFnMesh.lockFaceVertexNormals is the function to use but it's got not very clear from the documentation what you need to pass to it. It needs an array of faces and of vertices formed like this:
faces = ( 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1 )
verts = ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 5, 6 )
In this example the face with index 0 will have vertices 1, 2, 3 and 4 locked. Face 1 will have vertices 1, 2, 5, 6 locked. This code will lock all vertex face normals:

verts = OpenMaya.MIntArray()
faces = OpenMaya.MIntArray()
vertsForFace = OpenMaya.MIntArray()
for faceID in range( meshFn.numPolygons() ) :
meshFn.getPolygonVertices( faceID, vertsForFace )
for i in range( vertsForFace.length() ) :
faces.append( faceID )
verts.append( vertsForFace[i] )
meshFn.lockFaceVertexNormals( faces, verts )
