Alright, new series posted here, with those changes. Let me know if that is workable for you. Since a lot of the vDSO is tied up (currently) with timekeeping stuff, it's a bit tricky adding things to it like this. I've done the best I can to keep it clean and such, but if you want to play around with wiring up powerpc, that might prove to be an interesting exercise in shaking out inconsistencies.
