I think this is a very interesting idea and it should be pretty simple!
The attached patch for eglibc should resolve it.
And the attached patch for kernel isn't necessary, but makes it clear that the colouring is important.
I did tested the kernel patch - and it seems to work without problems.
I'm not sure if this might introduce userspace compile problems though (although unlikely).
