It's 64-bit only, so it's non-starter in its current form. It also
seems to require a large vm.max_map_count value, and that would have to
be addressed as well. I don't know how feasible that is in practice.
I couldn't find any performance comparisons with other hardended
allocators (such as Scudo).
Thanks,
Florian
