+ * Add a special note telling glibc's dynamic linker a fake hardware
+ * flavor that it will use to choose the search path for libraries in the
+ * same way it uses real hardware capabilities like "mmx".
+ * We supply "nosegneg" as the fake capability, to indicate that we
+ * do not like negative offsets in instructions using segment overrides,
+ * since we implement those inefficiently.  This makes it possible to
+ * install libraries optimized to avoid those access patterns in someplace
+ * like /lib/i686/tls/nosegneg.  Note that an /etc/ld.so.conf.d/file
+ * corresponding to the bits here is needed to make ldconfig work right.
+ * It should contain:
+ *	hwcap 1 nosegneg
+ * to match the mapping of bit to name that we give here.
+ *
+ * At runtime, the fake hardware feature will be considered to be present
+ * if its bit is set in the mask word.  So, we start with the mask 0, and
+ * at boot time we set VDSO_NOTE_NONEGSEG_BIT if running under Xen.
