Andrew Morton suggested and applied the doc patch
(commit e9aae7af4601688386 in linux-next),
but did not pick up this series.

It is difficult to predict which patch he would
pick up, and which he would not.


I can apply this series
together with Lukas' base patch.


I pointed out possible mistakes in 2/2.
I can locally fix them up if you agree.


BTW, Kees Cook suggested dropping the x bit
from all scripts, but I did not agree with that part.


In the doc change, Lukas mentioned
"further clean-up patches", but I hope
it does not mean dropping the x bits.
