Instead of an #error here, I would use a Kconfig conditional and make it

'select HAVE_GENERIC_VDSO if AEABI'

Why are you adding __vdso_clock_getres here? I would probably
leave the addition of the new entry point(s) for a separate patch
at the end, adding __vdso_clock_gettime64 to all 32-bit ABIs
at once, since while that part is a trivial change, it's also user
visible and deserves its own changelog text.
