I sent my patch out, akpm added it to -mm and then xtensa broke, and
it got removed. Soooo... I'm looking at it again now. I think I might
combine the ideas and in the interpreter case bump the entire mmap
base by the brk randomization size. That should make things less
strange and solve the corner case without reducing available address
space in the general case.
