[PATCH] Add install_special_mapping

Browse source 
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.
