Please resend this:

- Express the commit in the conventional fashion

  e6023367d779 ("x86, kaslr: Prevent .bss from overlaping initrd")

  - So that we all don't have to go look up the commit to find out
    what happened.

  - So people can look up the commit in other trees, where the hash
    might change.

- Cc the people who wrote and committed the patch.

- The offending commit has cc:stable, so have a think about adding a
  cc:stable to this one as well.

- The title is cute, but not terribly informative.
