Subject: [PATCH] Add install_special_mapping
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fa5dc22f8586cc3742413dd05f5cd9e039dfab9e;p=linux-beck.git

[PATCH] Add install_special_mapping

This patch 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.
