Andrew,
the following two patches are the outcome of the thread "brk randomization
breaks columns" [1]. As brk randomization is already in Linus' tree, it's
definitely 2.6.25 material, so it would probably be good if you could push
them in your next bunch going to Linus, if noone has any objections.
I think it's better if they go through you than through Ingo, as they are
not x86-specific at all.
Thanks.
