BTW, this one needs an analog of

    ARM: 7294/1: vectors: use gate_vma for vectors user mapping

This code is a copy of older arm logics rewritten in that commit; unicore32
never got its counterpart.  I have a [completely untested] variant sitting
in vfs.git#vm^; it's probably worth testing - if it works, we'll get rid
of one more place that needs to be aware of MM guts and unicore32 folks
will have fewer potential headache sources...

FWIW, after porting to the current tree it becomes the following; I'm not
sure whether we want VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP set for this one, though...
