Subject: [PATCH v2 3.15] x86,vdso: Fix an OOPS accessing the hpet mapping w/o an hpet

The oops can be triggered in qemu using -no-hpet (but not nohpet) by
running a 32-bit program and reading a couple of pages before the vdso.
This should send SIGBUS instead of OOPSing.

The bug was introduced by:

commit 7a59ed415f5b57469e22e41fc4188d5399e0b194
Author: Stefani Seibold <stefani@...bold.net>
Date:   Mon Mar 17 23:22:09 2014 +0100

    x86, vdso: Add 32 bit VDSO time support for 32 bit kernel

which is new in 3.15.

Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net>

I'll resend the tip/x86/vdso version of this patch once this one gets
picked up.
