Will 11.0-RELEASE include ASLR?

[Brett Glass]

ASLR is controversial. Some see it as "security by obscurity;" others see
it as extremely useful and effective.

Yes, I would like it as a kernel build option, so that I can choose to
optimize for raw speed (e.g. on a server which is hardened in other ways)
or for the extra warm fuzzies that ASLR provides.
