Understand that regardless of what the Cobalt Kernel says, it is modified 
and has things removed to reduce the vulnerability.  Unless you test it and 
find it is vulnerable or the engineers tell you so, then just because the 
normal kernel is vulnerable, it doesn't make the Cobalt kernel so.

Maybe Bruce can make a comment here.
