I think he's asking what happens to the kernel value at execve() time.
The short answer is that it is zero'd along with the rest of a new mm.
It probably _shouldn't_ be, though. It's actually valid to have a bound
directory at 0x0. We probably need to initialize it to -1 instead, and
that means initializing to -1 at execve() time.
