Given other comments, I think you should put all the changed code under an #ifdef, and add that to conf/options to be defined in file opt_vm.h (e.g., VM_MMAPOFF_RANDOMIZE opt_vm.h), then include opt_vm.h in the relevant files. Ofcourse, the option wouldn't be enabled by default, but people who want security through obscurity can easily enable it at their leasure in their kernel config, and recompile :).
