Currently script checks only first and last address in the vsyscall
memory range. We can do better than this. When checking for false
positives against $match, we can convert $match to a hexadecimal value
then check if it lies within the range of vsyscall addresses.
Check whole range of vsyscall addresses when checking for false
positive.
