Ah, this makes sense that.  I might as well revert the OpenRISC patch for this.
Though, we shall move to the generic version in the end.

With ideal compare:

    -rwxrwxr-x. 1 shorne shorne 6011932 Feb  9 17:57 vmlinux

With comparing (size <= TASK_SIZE && addr <= TASK_SIZE - size):

    -rwxrwxr-x. 1 shorne shorne 6003556 Feb 11 07:18 vmlinux
