The new generic VDSO library allows to unify the update_vsyscall[_tz]()
implementations.
Provide a generic implementation based on the x86 code and the bindings
which need to be implemented in architecture specific code.
[ tglx: Moved it into kernel/time where it belongs. Removed the pointless
line breaks in the stub functions. Massaged changelog ]

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.

Define a common formet for the vdso datapage as a preparation for sharing
the VDSO implementation as a generic library.
The datastructures are based on the current x86 layout.
