    When I added PT_GNU_STACK, it was meant from the beginning as
    stack+heap+mmap w/o PROT_EXEC executability/non-executability.
    I don't think it makes any sense to have separate bits for heap and stack.
    Any program which assumes PROT_READ implies PROT_EXEC just can be marked
    PT_GNU_STACK PF_X.
