as a follow up, when enabling embedded mode, it defaults to everything 
enabled, including the option to 'disable heap randomization'

this should be changed to 'enable heap randomization' so that it can 
default to on line everything else (with the assumption being that mearly 
checking the option to be able to select the embeded menu doesn't change 
the kernel behavior, you would have to disable something in that menu)
