If anything I think you're underabusing them - we asked you to be a
global maintainer because we trusted your judgement :-)

This was what threw me off an immediate reply.  I doubt the kernel's
got a bug like this, since Solaris tools use the auxv data.  So we
must have an error when reading it.  Maybe the format is different
than we expect (32-bit vs 64-bit fields)?

Otherwise the patch looks fine.
