To avoid physical overlap among phdrs, there are three possible solutions. - Place vsyscall sections also in data phdrs instead of user - move vsyscal sections after init data in bss. - create another phdrs say data.init and move all the sections after vsyscall into this new phdr. o This patch implements the third solution.
