And following the legitimate concerns about stack-protector this was

through a process to correct it, as would be the case with any deficiency
on x86. The stack protection stuff will be fixed. Let's bike shed over the
next nitpick nuance that the anti-ARM crowd want to throw in the way ;)
Just in case it wasn't part of what was discussed, please note that if all
goes well, F20 will be switching to use -fstack-protector-strong rather than
just -fstack-protector so we'd need the functionality for that implemented:
