Subject: [RFC 2/2] [NOT READY] x86/vdso: Add __vdso_findsym
The intent is to add a painless way for userspace libraries to find
vdso symbols. This will work by adding a vdso function
__vdso_findsym and a new auxvec entry AT_VDSO_FINDSYM that points at
it.
This isn't done yet. __vdso_findsym works, but it's only available
for the 64-bit vdso, and AT_VDSO_FINDSYM isn't implemented.
Getting this to work for x32 will require hackery or an actual x32
toolchain to build it.
