Missing features for x86_64?

There seems to be module loading disable option anymore and no more kernel stack randomization features?

As for module disabling, see this post from 2009:

There was never kernel stack randomization for x64. It's always been a 32-bit x86-only feature. It's too expensive to implement on x64.
