I fear that we're liable to forget to set vdso_clock_mode on new errata
that don't need a read_cntvct_el0 hook, and if so we'll happen to set
these to 0 (i.e. VDSO_CLOCKMODE_NONE).

For now could we instead have a boolan disable_compat_vdso, with this
being:

| if (wa->read_cntvct_el0) {
| 	clocksource_counter.vdso_clock_mode = VDSO_CLOCKMODE_NONE;
| 	vdso_default = VDSO_CLOCKMODE_NONE;
| } else if (wa->disable_compat_vdso) {
| 	clocksource_counter.vdso_clock_mode = VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER_NOCOMPAT;
| 	vdso_default = wa->vdso_clock_mode = VDSO_CLOCKMODE_ARCHTIMER_NOCOMPAT;
| }

Do we need to handle the comination of a workaround seeting NONE and one
setting ARCHTIMER_NOCOMPAT?

Mark.
