No, the tree looks good now, thanks.  You're right that Oleg raised a
concern about how mmap(MAP_GROWSDOWN) behaves, and is wondering about
how to make it more sensible: but that's neither a vulnerability nor
a regression - he agreed minor, to think about another time.  He's
also been fielding a concern from the CRIU people, we're hoping that's
just something they need to fix at their end - ah, no, I see Oleg has
just replied ahead of me, not digested yet, I'll look into that later...
