Comment (by simonmar):

 Just a general question on this issue - what is the value of SELinux's
 execmem policy, given that it can be worked around?  The workaround is
 extremely annoying, because we have to map the same memory twice.  Even
 libffi can't abstract the details, because we have to manage two addresses
 to the same memory.
