long term.. no. Because I want to enable stack-protector for the kernel
(I have patches for that; all it needs is a 5 line gcc patch to make it
work) as debug option at least (and if the perf impact isn't too bad,
distros and security sensitive people can enable it always).


Obviously, but at that time we should enable -fno-stack-protector vs -fstack-protector as appropriate.
