I have heuristically found the problem affects only one Fedora kernel
version/arch:
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=832534#c9

So the GDB patch should be compatible with Linux kernels in general I hope.
Feel free to run the testcase on your kernel/CPU:
	http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/ret-to-nxpage.c?cvsroot=systemtap
	gcc -o ret-to-nxpage ret-to-nxpage.c -Wall -g; ./ret-to-nxpage; echo $?
	0 == PASS

Jan
