It looks like you've used the update_vsyscall() which is also used for vsyscalls. So vread could also be used .. Have you considered that at all?
No, but yes it can be done, overloading the meaning. It would need to change in the future if vread was needed. I have no strong argument against using it. Although we may still need the IA64 define, I removed 32bit read mmio andif that is brought back the fast syscall patch call will need to have a field in the clocksource struct that would indicated that. Waiting on comments about that...
John and discuss this awhile back felt it was not needed, may prove wrong.
