who, me? umm...
I can see that a patch like this would have a place in a general security-hardened kernel: one which closes off all the means by which root can alter the running kernel.
But that's a specialised thing which interested parties can maintain as a standalone patch, and bringing just one part of it into the main kernel seems rather arbitrary.
