Vincenzo Frascino 00b26474c2 lib/vdso: Provide generic VDSO implementation
In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific
vdso implementations which contain very similar code.

Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be
shareable between architectures once they are converted over.

The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.

provide the fallback implementation.

Defines the cross-compiler prefix for compiling compat vDSO.
If a 64 bit compiler (i.e. x86_64) can compile the VDSO for
32 bit, it does not need to define this parameter.
