If you want a tmpfs with noexec and a shared memory space with exec why
don't you just sort out mounting two different tmpfs instances ?
The one that goes to /dev/shm should allow PROT_EXEC, yet
not allow executing the binaries with execve(). How?
There may be other tmpfs instances, I think they are
unaffected, but what to do with the /dev/shm one?
