[PATCH] disable addres space randomization default on transmeta CPUs
We know that the randomisation slows down some workloads on Transmeta CPUs by quite large amounts. We think it's because the CPU needs to recode the same x86 instructions when they pop up at a different virtual address after a fork+exec. So disable randomization by default on those CPUs.
