I have posted the one below a couple of times without it making
it in. If you like ot please fold it into your mm patchset. It
is against 2.4.0.

In addition to the places this patch touches there are some places
in fs/ where mm->rss is touched. But I am not sure of the finer
points of this code, so perhaps somebody else could have a look?
The files are binfmt_aout.c, binfmt_elf.c, and exec.c.
