I've been talking about this for years. All I need is help with the VM magic to create the page on fork. I also want two pages, one global
for gettimeofday (and any other global data we can think of) and one
per-process for static data like getpid/getgid.

I believe somebody suggested that no real VM magic is needed and the libc should be in charge of opening special pseudo-device and doing necessary mmap(2) magic to get the page mapped in when user calls gettimeofday()/getpid()/getid() etc for the first time.
