Quotes of the week
In any case, we'll continue to use the fact that mprotect is also
broken to get our WC mapping working (using mprotect PROT_NONE
followed by mprotect PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE causes the CD and WT bits
to get cleared). We're fortunate in this case that we've found a
bug to exploit that gives us the desired behaviour.

-- Andrew Morton
/me duly notes this request to break Andrew's systems even more frequently ;-)
