Indeed, because we were not running 32bit tasks vdso32-setup.c::arch_setup_additional_pages
has never been called. That's the mode we will have to implement one day.

Looking forward the question appear -- will VDSO_PREV_PAGES and rest of variables
be kind of immutable constants? If yes, we could calculate where the additional
vma lives without requiring any kind of [vdso] mark in proc/pid/maps output.
