And I am still not sure this all is 100% correct, but I got lost in this code.
Probably this is fine...

But at least the bug exposed by the test-case looks clear:

	do_linear_fault:

		vmf->pgoff = (((address & PAGE_MASK) - vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT)
				+ vma->vm_pgoff;
		...

		special_mapping_fault:

			pgoff = vmf->pgoff - vma->vm_pgoff;


So special_mapping_fault() can only work if this mapping starts from the
first page in ->pages[].

So perhaps we need _something like_ the (wrong/incomplete) patch below...

Or, really, perhaps we can create vdso_mapping ? So that map_vdso() could
simply mmap the anon_inode file...
