* We don't expose the real in-memory order of objects for security reasons.

* obfuscate kernel pointers values and compare the production instead.
*
* The obfuscation is done in two steps. First we xor the kernel pointer with
* a random value, which puts pointer into a new position in a reordered space.
* Secondly we multiply the xor production with a large odd random number to
* permute its bits even more (the odd multiplier guarantees that the product
* is unique ever after the high bits are truncated, since any odd number is
* relative prime to 2^n).
*
* Note also that the obfuscation itself is invisible to userspace and if needed
* it can be changed to an alternate scheme.
