certainly looks fine to me, but please also add a .config to make it 
default to 2. The reason is that a good portions of the overflows happen 
on the heap and 99.9% of the Linux users do not run 1996-era glibc 
anymore.

something like CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK=y, which would cause randomize_va_space 
to default to 1, and if a user or distro disables it, it will default to 
2.
