[PATCH v6] powerpc: Do not make the entire heap executable

[Kees Cook]

Hi,

Jason just reminded me about this patch. :)

Denys, can you resend a v7 with all the Acked/Reviewed/Tested-bys
added and send it To: akpm, with everyone else (and lkml) in CC? That
should be the easiest way for Andrew to pick it up.

Thanks!

-Kees
