Folks, while we're at it, can we also fix the ADDR_LIMIT_3GB personality?
With all current kernels it just does not work, returning EINVAL to the
second execve() call.  It never worked from within a 32bit process, but
that at least can be worked around by introducing a small 64bit helper.
Now that helper does not work too.

Or just remove it altogether, to stop confusing people... :)

(We finally moved our legacy application from oracle8 (which only exist
in 32bit for linux) to oracle10, so this problem has no relevance for
us anymore.  Before it were quite problematic...)

Thanks!
