Subject: [PATCH 8/11] Add install_special_mapping
Message-Id: <20070114053634.0FDB21800E5@magilla.sf.frob.com>

This patchs adds a utility function install_special_mapping, for creating a
special vma using a fixed set of preallocated pages as backing, such as for
a vDSO.  This consolidates some nearly identical code used for vDSO mapping
reimplemented for different architectures.
