Subject: [PATCH v6 01/19] kernel: Standardize vdso_datapage

In an effort to unify the common code for managing the vdso library in
between all the architectures that support it, this patch tries to
provide a common format for the vdso datapage.

As a result of this, this patch generalized the data structures in vgtod.h
from x86 private includes to general includes (include/vdso).
