The only things of use to me in grsecurity over rsbac were restrictions on
/proc, which one part of, process hiding now exists in rsbac, the other was
the non executable stack. I was not aware that it patched cleanly with
rsbac, should probably give it a try.

Back on topic, I tink it would be a great idea to include it in
rsbac...maybe as some sort of control, specifing which programs make use of
it? Is that even possible?
