So I guess the alternative would be to fail exec-ing into 32bit from a
64bit DL task, and then drop this patch?

The nice thing about your approach is that existing applications won't
really notice a difference (execve would still 'work'), but on the cons
side it breaks admission control, which is sad.

I don't expect this weird execve-to-32bit pattern from DL to be that
common in practice (at the very least not in Android), so maybe we could
start with the stricter version (fail the execve), and wait to see if
folks complain? Making things stricter later will be harder.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Quentin
