I'm slightly confused. 

Sorry to split hairs here, but I think the comment is subtly wrong.

The trampoline code seems to be placed in this location by Linux, so
it's not that we're protecting the trampoline code, but rather we're
preserving the location for future use.

I take it that the reset address isn't configurable?

Thanks,
Mark.
