Changes since v5:
* made do_brk_flags() error out if any bits other than VM_EXEC are set.

Excellent, thanks for the v6! Should this go via the ppc tree or the -mm tree?
-mm would be best, given the diffstat I think it's less likely to
 conflict if it goes via -mm.
Okay, excellent. Andrew, do you have this already in email? I think
you weren't on the explicit CC from the v6...
FWIW (and ping),

Tested-by: Jason Gunthorpe <redacted>

On ARM32 (kirkwood) and PPC32 (405)

Hi Andrew,

Can you pick this up?

Thanks!
