We would like to be able to remap/unmap the VDSO on arm and arm64 as
well. When I proposed a patch with mmu_context.h and mmu-arch-hooks.h
changes to arm64 that were nearly identical to those done to powerpc,
Will Deacon reasonably suggested [1] attempting to combine the code and
provide generic VDSO accessors. Unfortunately, I no prior experience
with generic MM code. Can anyone advise on how to get started with that?
