The following patch fixes the brk-allocation problems on x86_64 with code
randomization patch on PIE-compiled binaries. Is anyone aware of any
potential disaster it might cause somewhere please?
If not -- Andrew, could you apply it on top of
pie-executable-randomization.patch please? Thanks.

X86_64: add flexmmap support
This patch adds flexible-mmap support for x86_64 and brings the address
space layout closer to the "new" i?86 address space layout. Using the
legacy layout is still possible by
- ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT personality
- having unlimited resource limit for stack
- legacy_va_layout sysctl setting
This corresponds to the ?86 behavior.
Flexible-mmap support is necessary for establishing proper mapping when
performing executable code randomization for PIE-compiled binaries,
otherwise non-randomized brk, which is immediately following the code,
might not have enough free space.
