Add Hardened Gentoo [server/workstation] predefined grsecurity
levels. They're designed to provide a comparitively high level of
security while remaining generally suitable for as great a majority
of the userbase as possible (particularly new users).
Make Hardened Gentoo [workstation] predefined grsecurity level the
default. The Hardened Gentoo [server] level is more restrictive
and conflicts with some software and thus would be less suitable.
The original version of this patch was conceived and created by:
Ned Ludd <solar@gentoo.org>
