+ * User helpers.
+ *
+ * These are segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
+ * at a fixed address in kernel memory. This is used to provide user space
+ * with some operations which require kernel help because of unimplemented
+ * native feature and/or instructions in many ARM CPUs. The idea is for
+ * this code to be executed directly in user mode for best efficiency but
+ * which is too intimate with the kernel counter part to be left to user
+ * libraries. In fact this code might even differ from one CPU to another
+ * depending on the available instruction set and restrictions like on
+ * SMP systems. In other words, the kernel reserves the right to change
+ * this code as needed without warning. Only the entry points and their
+ * results are guaranteed to be stable.
+ *
+ * Each segment is 32-byte aligned and will be moved to the top of the high
+ * vector page. New segments (if ever needed) must be added in front of
+ * existing ones. This mechanism should be used only for things that are
+ * really small and justified, and not be abused freely.
+ *
+ * User space is expected to implement those things inline when optimizing
+ * for a processor that has the necessary native support, but only if such
+ * resulting binaries are already to be incompatible with earlier ARM
+ * processors due to the use of unsupported instructions other than what
+ * is provided here. In other words don't make binaries unable to run on
+ * earlier processors just for the sake of not using these kernel helpers
+ * if your compiled code is not going to use the new instructions for other
+ * purpose.
