Thanks for putting me straight on this. I got these weird failures when
hibernate/restoring over your kaslr series, I mistakenly believed the addition
of locate_protocol/get_random was causing some extra initialisation. In
hindsight it was probably the kernels new ability to use the memory below the
kernel.
Thanks,
James
