Yeah, I've seen quite a lot of fun.  I have one machine where after I
verify that it did get the right address for the syscall table, if the
openafs module is installed the kernel setgroups() call always returns
-EINVAL.  Not openafs code, the kernel.  Haven't figured that one out.
Other machines the patch seems to work.

I have patched in a verify function.  I think just using the one from
the Arla code base verbatim will work just as well.  Just replace

    if (ok)

with

    if (ok && verify(ptr))
