Technically, it's not bigger than TASK_SIZE that's supplied
get_unmapped_area() as an argument..

It could have been TASK_SIZE_OF(), but that would be not much better in
my POV. I see that arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() uses is_64bit_mm() which
is correct the majority of time, but not for processes those jump
switching CS.. Except criu afair there are at least wine, dosemu.
I had it in my TODO to fix this :)

Do I read the code properly and xol is always one page?
Could that page be reserved on the top of mmap_base/mmap_compat_base at
the binfmt loading time? (I would need than to add .mremap() for
restoring sake). Probably, not reserving it if personality doesn't allow
randomization or providing a way to disable it..

Thanks,
