If we hit a PF for an address in the vsyscall page, allocate some memory in the process address space which will do `syscall;retq`, and depending on the offset into the vsyscall page set `RAX` to the desired syscall number. This does not implement a true fast path for syscalls, nor does it implement vDSO.
