just a few nits.

Can you please spare that #ifdef and do:

#ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_VDSO_DATA
#include <asm/vdso/data.h>
#else
struct arch_vdso_data {};
#endif

Please keep the tabular alignment of the struct members and add kernel
doc in the comment above the struct.

Aside of that 'arch' is not really a intuitive name. 'arch_data' or
something like that. Hmm?

Thanks,
