Concievably one could use a design similar to the VDSO "linuxgate" which was part of the Linux threads NG support a few years ago.
A default might simply implement the same mmap/linkage semantics that are in use already. However, any specific kernel image could over-ride that behavior.
I'm not advocating such an approach. I'm merely speculating on what someone might reasonably mean by saying such things.
