Should be fairly doable and might be a nice step towards cleaning the
mess up.  In fact with my seres a large part of those are gone, and
most of the remaining handler are ioctl handlers or what seems like
opencoded versions of probe_kernel_read.

But it won't help against exploits modifying addr_limit manually.
