As this is a new file being introduced which is (modulo some bikeshedding
and addition of a few comments) a direct copy+paste of our code and comments
in fs/exec.c, I would appreciate both a GPL notice (the same as exists for
KASAN, etc) and both the PaX Team and myself being listed as the copyright
owners.
