some PaX features/changes are always on, not under .config control and
can conflict with other kernel code, especially low-level stuff. also in
general hypervisors don't play well with PaX (they write to read-only memory,
have their own module loader subsystem like vbox, etc), so i didn't spend
much time on getting these to work yet. volunteers are welcome ;).
