I can document it. I'll look into unwind_vdso.c to see what kind of selftests will make sense here. And I'll send out a RFC patch with everything included. Or would you prefer to have my changes integrated into Jarkko's patch v20?

Different ENCLU leaf has different parameters. This vDSO API knows how to load up parameters only for EENTER and ERESUME so it errs on all other positive values. 0 and negative values are interpreted as return codes.
