Thanks.

I pushed them out to a temporary vdso branch on Friday and Catalin looked at
that. If you'd like me to post them as well, please let me know, although
I'm keen to get this stuff sorted out by -rc3 without disabling the compat
vDSO altogether (i.e. [1]). In other words, if you're ok with my changes on
top of yours then let's go for that, otherwise let's punt this to 5.5 and
try to fix the header mess at the same time.
