Ack, in fact I think both comments do not add much (it is pretty obvious
from the function call).  I will remove them.

The main issue is to handle the vDSO (is_vdso) and match the cookies
and address with the subsequent la_activities/la_objclose.  So it
would require to keep track with some internal state anyway.

And checking on resolve/tst-ns_name.c I don't think it would be
simpler to use such scheme (specially the required handling it would 
require to parse a possible input to handle line with multiple options
and different outputs).
