Hi Catalin,

you should not really work on Sunday ;-) Joking, thanks for reviewing my patches.

I tried to fine grain the headers as much as I could in order to avoid
unneeded/unwanted inclusions:
 * TASK_SIZE_32 is used to verify ABI consistency on vdso32 (please refer to
   arch/arm64/kernel/vdso32/vgettimeofday.c).
 * TASK_SIZE is not required by the vdso library hence it is not present in
   these headers.
