Confused... it was 2/2, afaics nothing depends on this change. In particular, 1/2
47ac5484fd961420e5ec0bb5b972fde381f57365 ("x86: Fix norandmaps/ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE")
doesn't depend.

Nevermind, if you have already applied this cleanup it should not hurt, it is
very simple and hopefully "obviously correct".
