Yeah. Well, there are still alternatives:

- use proper address in case kptr_restrict is not set
- hash the address otherwise

That will still maintain the property of being unique and in 
!kptr_restrict cases will provide address as a benefit.

Removing it altogether is probably a viable option as well, although it's 
far more userspace-visible change.

Thanks,
