I don't get this one: the x86 asm/page_types.h still includes other
headers outside of the vdso namespace, but you seem to only need these
two definitions that are the same across everything.

Why not put PAGE_MASK and PAGE_SIZE into a global vdso/page.h
header? I did spend a lot of time a few months ago ensuring that
we can have a single definition for all architectures based on
CONFIG_PAGE_SHIFT, so all the extra copies should just go away.
