Linus Torvalds 0352387523 First step of consolidating the VDSO data page handling: 
The VDSO data page handling is architecture specific for historical
   reasons, but there is no real technical reason to do so.
 
   Aside of that VDSO data has become a dump ground for various mechanisms
   and fail to provide a clear separation of the functionalities.
 
   Clean this up by:
 
     * consolidating the VDSO page data by getting rid of architecture
       specific warts especially in x86 and PowerPC.
 
     * removing the last includes of header files which are pulling in other
       headers outside of the VDSO namespace.
 
     * seperating timekeeping and other VDSO data accordingly.
 
   Further consolidation of the VDSO page handling is done in subsequent
   changes scheduled for the next merge window.
 
   This also lays the ground for expanding the VDSO time getters for
   independent PTP clocks in a generic way without making every architecture
   add support seperately.
