It's been literally years since I wrote this code, but I distinctly remember the
addresses being relative to the base. I also remember testing multiple entries,
but again, that was a long time ago.

Assuming things have changed, or I was flat out wrong, the comment above the
macro magic should also be updated.

/*
* Inject exception fixup for vDSO code. Unlike normal exception fixup,
* vDSO uses a dedicated handler the addresses are relative to the overall
* exception table, not each individual entry.
*/
