    Log Message:
    For aarch64 on linux, call personality(ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT)

    This should have the same result as setarch --addr-compat-layout
    suggested in #685.

    ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT is an enum value, not a macro

    So we can't #if defined(ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT)

    More aarch64 hackery

    Black magic mode enabled...

    In a constructor, execv() ourselves after setting the personality.
    Since we're placing jsvals on the stacks, the address space needs
    to be set to legacy *before* the stack is initialized.

    What this does, is if the ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT bit isn't already set
    while the program is being initialized, re-starts the program with
    the same args after calling personality().

    Log Message:
    Remove personality() calls after stack is created

    This won't actually work here.
