I am much more skeptical to disabling page coloring in the !PF_RANDOMIZE

running without it, perhaps with a chicken bit in a sysctl.

Agreed, it is hard to imagine a program that passes
address 0 to mmap, yet breaks when it gets a coloured
page address back...

I'll leave that bit of code untouched for now, we can
play with it later.
