Anton, I'll try to read this series asap. Just one note,

Yes, this is can work too.

But I guess you misunderstood me, or I missed something...

Why do you need xol_area->rp_trampoline_vaddr at all? From the very
beginning I am trying to suggest to use the first slot for trampoline:

	Or. Perhaps even better, do not add this helper at all. xol_alloc_area()
	could reserve the first slot/bit for trampoline. And note that in this
	case we do not need xol_area->rp_trampoline_vaddr, it is always equal
	to xol_area->vaddr.

Doesn't this look simpler?

Oleg.
