What ever happens, somebody needs to test kernels with this patch

Some of the initial non-exec-stack patch sets intentionally broke
compatibility with existing binaries, and that is not acceptable.
Hi David,
This patchset definitely doesn't intentionally break backwards
compatibility, and I am able to run an old debian squeeze distribution
with iceweasel/firefox etc just fine under QEMU with nofpu (patch 6125
which this is derived from was capable of that too).
I'm planning to do more testing to try to hammer the multi-threaded case
where many frames may be in use for a process simultaneously, and check
the pre-MIPSr6 on MIPSr6 emulation, but besides that I think it should
be good to go.
Thanks,
Paul
