Sorry for replying to the wrong email in the thread -- my gmane feed 
missed the original.

One thing that might be nice to add is AT_VDSO_FINDSYM [1].  A lot of 
userspace implementations (especially for static, embedded things) might 
significantly prefer that style of entry point.

If you want to use vdso2c for vdso image post-processing, I'd be happy 
to try to make it available outside arch/x86 and to make it more 
configurable as needed.

Please use _install_special_mapping instead of install_special_mapping. 
  AFAICS it's basically impossible to use install_special_mapping correctly.
