   # HEAD: 29434801e7e9c6d05fbea4533b3c0bd6be612f62 x86/vdso: Remove a stale/misleading comment from the linker script

Two changes:

 - Remove (some) remnants of the vDSO's fake section table mechanism that
   were left behind when the vDSO build process reverted to using
   "objdump -S" to strip the userspace image.

 - Remove hardcoded POPCNT mnemonics now that the minimum binutils 
   version supports the symbolic form.

 Thanks,

	Ingo
