The reason for keeping both implementations separate is because
VDSO__MAP_NAME may not be defined/applicable for all architectures, so
instead of having them have to define VDSO__MAP_NAME just to get that
file to build, they would only include find-map.c to get access to
find_map() and then search for specific tokens.

Would you prefer if find_map() was moved to tools/perf/util/util.c?
