does

	memcpy((void*)0x20000100, "mpol=", 5);
	syscall(__NR_mount, 0ul, 0x20000040ul, 0x20000080ul, 0ul, 0x20000100ul);

so I assume we've fallen afoul of the patch "vfs: parse: deal with zero
length string value"
(https://lkml.kernel.org/r/166365878918.39016.12757946948158123324.stgit@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx).

I have dropped that patch today so hopefully we're all good now.
