Hi,

I am having problems with an unclean written closed source application, which 
segfaults by time, because it has executable code on the stack.

Is it possible, to disable the NX bit on modern processors for a domU? I know, 
this is an unclean solution - but it would be a quick fix.

Many thanks in advance,

Johnny
