Of course, you should include the file you want people to install
as part of the kernel source or build.  You can copy it into
place in make install or something if you like (convention is to
call it something.conf in /etc/ld.so.conf.d); then run ldconfig.
The x86-xen case has not bothered to include its one-line file as
such, just the comment in arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/note.S telling you
what it is.

Thanks,
Roland
