When I was originally pushing PIE executable randomization, I have been
thinking about ways to solve this.

In theory, we could start playing games with load_addr in
load_elf_interp() and randomizing it completely independently from mmap()
base randomization, but the question is whether it's really worth the
hassle and binfmt_elf code complication. I am not convinced.
