I can certainly do that, but the size of the drivers patch is going to be
tremendous. I just figured that smaller patches would be less offensive to
upstream's delicate sensibilities =)

Just working on this in my spare time. I've wanted to see PaX/grsecurity
included upstream for a long while now. Funding is unnecessary, as it
wouldn't enable me to get this finished any more quickly than I would
