yes, I've got something semi-baked, if you're interested I can publish my
patches. I'd appreciate any help with debugging (smep works pretty good, but
smap cause some panics which need to be investigated), testing (I've tested it
mainly on qemu) or polishing diffs. One thing is also missing from original

may not apply 1:1 there but of course XEN has to stay functional. [...] -
I haven't done it.
