I see. Look, to make complete transparent transition where vdso is completely
unchanged I must memcmp(old-vdso, new-vdso, sizeof(vdso)) then I would be
sure the vdso is unchanged and I can reuse one from image, but with new
page-server concept it's pretty hard to implement is small and elegant
way, at least I don't see how at moment.
