More about this patch:

this I386_MAX_EXE_ADDR is only used for openbsd's W^X i386 implementation, I think.  The code is not really complicated, so I think we should add it.  However, I think that it should be optional to switch on via a sysctl.  Putting everything in kernel options makes everything so... bulky.  Of course this sysctl would need to be guarded by securelevel.

cheers
