A little while ago I asked kib@ to look at the ASLR situation.

He implemented a small, more general solution. We planned to post it
for review, testing and discussion soon, but given the renewed
interest in this topic we'll put it on Phabricator today.

I look forward to feedback on the patch from Shawn and the HardenedBSD
folks and everyone else with an interest in ASLR on FreeBSD.
