It's down to 375 bytes now.  I'm not sure how to do better than that
without starting to hardcode variously nasty assumptions.

With CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK=y I think the 64-bit vdso is two pages
anyway.  With CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK=n, it's one page even with my
code.

(At some point I plan on tackling the paravirt clock code.  It's much
more complicated and much slower than it needs to be.)
