Similar code needs to be added to libkern before SSP can be enabled
within the kernel.

I would agree that a phased approach to enabling SSP is warranted but
I believe it should wind up enabled by default in -current fairly

impacts, a decision can be made as to whether it should default to on
or off in -stable and releases.
