Please don't!

These might, in principle, even vary between tasks on the same system.
 Certainly the relative positions of the vmas will be different
between 3.15 and 3.16, since we need almost my entire cleanup series
to reliably put them into their 3.16 location.  And I intend to change
the number of pages in 3.16 or 3.17.
