Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/2] x86_64: Add safe check in a.out loaders and some
 coding style

Now it's ok.

> ia32_aout had no safe checks concerning the mmap and f_op in this module.
> It's not necessary to verify f_op in the load_aout_library, since the
> prior kernel_read/vfs_read function already does.
> Coding style and printks fixes.
>
> Tested using qemu, a handcrafted a.out binary and a a.out linked with a
> cross-compiled ld.
