Good to see the grsecurity patch getting a bit of publicity. I think for critical devices it's an essential patch, mostly because of it's integration with the PaX patch which is aimed at preventing many different types of memory overflow exploits.

You can use PaX standalone tho.

I'd like to know if they used GrSecurity's RBAC or if they just used the patch and that was that.

Or downvoted for no reason. haha.

That's PaX standalone: http://grsecurity.net/~paxguy1/
