From: Hirokazu Takata

Hello,

Here is a patchset to fix a bug of m32r kernel 2.6.9 that a code on
a noexec page can be executed incorrectly.

For good security, stack region should be non-executable.
This fix is also needed to achieve non-executable stack.

Please apply this to 2.6.10 kernel if possible.

Thank you.
