Why not in a Meizu M8?

Tried it, but haret stops with an error message (Failed to lock x pages.) and I'm no linux expert

I'm sure someone who knows his way around linux could probably make it run.

This does sound quite interesting, it could save Meizu loads of R&D money, and fix a somewhat flawed firmware.
