Pull x86 entry code updates from Dave Hansen: "This is entirely composed of a set of long overdue VDSO cleanups. They makes the VDSO build much more logical and zap quite a bit of old cruft.
It also results in a coveted net-code-removal diffstat"

x86/entry/vdso: Refactor the vdso build
- Separate out the vdso sources into common, vdso32, and vdso64 directories. - Build the 32- and 64-bit vdsos in their respective subdirectories; this greatly simplifies the build flags handling. - Unify the mangling of Makefile flags between the 32- and 64-bit vdso code as much as possible; all common rules are put in arch/x86/entry/vdso/common/Makefile.include. The remaining is very simple for 32 bits; the 64-bit one is only slightly more complicated because it contains the x32 generation rule. - Define __DISABLE_EXPORTS when building the vdso. This need seems to have been masked by different ordering compile flags before. - Change CONFIG_X86_64 to BUILD_VDSO32_64 in vdso32/system_call.S, to make it compatible with including fake_32bit_build.h. - The -fcf-protection= option was "leaking" from the kernel build, for reasons that was not clear to me. Furthermore, several distributions ship with it set to a default value other than "-fcf-protection=none". Make it match the configuration options for *user space*.
Note that this patch may seem large, but the vast majority of it is simply code movement.
