Subject: use elfnote.h to generate vsyscall notes.
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.23-rc1~498^2~38
X-Git-Url: http://pilppa.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=810bab448e563ffd1718d78e9a3756806b626acc;p=linux-2.6-omap-h63xx.git

use elfnote.h to generate vsyscall notes.

Use existing elfnote.h to generate vsyscall notes, rather than doing
it locally.  Changes elfnote.h a bit to suit, since this is the first
asm user, and it wasn't quite right.
