When running grub-probe on a PAX (grsecurity2) enabled kernel, grub-probe is 
killed with this message:

[ 9802.145075] PAX: From 85.197.21.96: execution attempt in: <anonymous mapping>, 7b4c5c1f2000-7b4c5c213000 7ffffffde000

It would be nice if you could make grub-probe compatible with PAX so that you don't have to overwrite the security flags for this file.
