[PATCH] disable addres space randomization default on transmeta CPUs

We know that the randomisation slows down some workloads on Transmeta CPUs
by quite large amounts.  We think it's because the CPU needs to recode the
same x86 instructions when they pop up at a different virtual address after
a fork+exec.

So disable randomization by default on those CPUs.
