with the simplest version of Linus' patch:

diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/mmap.c b/arch/x86/mm/mmap.c
index 1dab519..6b1094d 100644
--- a/arch/x86/mm/mmap.c
+++ b/arch/x86/mm/mmap.c
@@ -90,6 +90,8 @@ static unsigned long mmap_rnd(void)
rnd = (long)get_random_int() % (1<<8);
else
rnd = (long)(get_random_int() % (1<<28));
+
+ rnd &= ~0x7;
}
return rnd << PAGE_SHIFT;
}
