Hi-

This commit:

http://git.criu.org/?p=criu.git;a=commit;h=fe7b8aeb8c65e11e190282aae8db2d2bebd4f6e9

says that it expects the vvar area to follow the vdso.  Any chance you
could make it keep working if the vvar area is immediately before the
vdso?  I kind of want to flip the order.

This isn't out of malice or any aesthetic consideration -- it turns
out that reliably building a vdso image that keep gdb happy and has
the vvar area immediately after the vdso is considerably harder than I
expected.  Reversing it is IMO ugly, but it will be easier to
construct the ELF image.

I've gotten a report that at least one binutils version can't build
3.16-rc3 as a result.  Grr.
