I thought the MMAP_PAGE_ZERO personality bit was exactly what Brad
was using in his demonstration. We don't need to define a new bit,
just use the one that's there ;-).
Then again, setting personality flags does not require root permissions
normally, so it's not an extremely strong protection, unless you also
start requiring CAP_SYS_RAWIO for setting MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.
