Same workaround works here as with dirty frag. Just disable those kernel modules.

Maybe the solution is to just, delete a bunch of kernel modules.

How many of them are actually important anyway?

Unless you deliberately set out to compile a minimalistic custom kernel, less than half of them. Problem is, you may not be able to easily tell which half.

I'm sure removing the root user will prevent all escalation exploits. Can't get root if there is no root!

Leave ssh root access open with no password. Attackers will try to escalate privileges as their default strategy, when that fails they'll add your IP to their unhackable blacklist.

I think you might be able to deactivate this one by turning off XFRM support in a custom-configured kernel, at the cost of losing some types of tunneling. Not going to actually test that, though.
