Where's my special mapping?

Tongue in cheek subject aside, this is a serious question.  How can I
reliably find a special mapping?

AFAICS every architecture that uses special mappings keeps track of
the location in mm->context.  This is buggy because mremap can move
the special mapping.

Most architectures only use it for arch_vma_name, which is a silly
function anyway: _install_special_mapping avoids the need for it.  But
32-bit x86 (compat and native) needs to find the vdso at runtime.  Is
there any good way to do this?

Thanks,
Andy
