yes, please, it won't hurt (email me separately, not the list). |

EMUPLT takes its toll as usual, but i forget the exact numbers |
| 9 |
now (was 1.5 years ago when i last touched the ppc port), could |
| 10 |
very well be 50-100%. if userland is cleaned up (.plt is no longer |
| 11 |
runtime generated) this should be much less. |

there's only PAGEEXEC on ppc (and ppc64), PaX doesn't use the ppc |
| 16 |
segmentation logic, it's too coarse grained. |

i think only 4xx has explicit hardware NX support and the mainline |
| 26 |
linux kernel doesn't really use it there nor do i have access to such |
| 27 |
boards, so they're not supported as of now. the other models have |
| 28 |
implicit support for the per-page NX bit and PaX uses that, although |
| 29 |
noone has ever reported back on ppc64 yet. |
