6a52e4b1cd x86_64: further cleanup of 32-bit compat syscall mechanisms
AMD only supports "syscall" from 32-bit compat usermode.
Intel and Centaur(?) only support "sysenter" from 32-bit compat usermode.

Set the X86 feature bits accordingly, and set up the vdso in
accordance with those bits.  On the offchance we run on in a 64-bit
environment which supports neither syscall nor sysenter from 32-bit
mode, then fall back to the int $0x80 vdso.

6c3652efca x86 vDSO: i386 vdso32
This makes the i386 kernel use the new vDSO build in arch/x86/vdso/vdso32/
to replace the old one from arch/x86/kernel/.

7f3646aa16 x86 vDSO: use vdso-syms.lds
This patch changes the kernel's references to addresses in the vDSO image
to be based on the symbols defined by vdso-syms.lds instead of the old
vdso-syms.o symbols.  This is all wrapped up in a macro defined by the new
asm-x86/vdso.h header; that's the only place in the kernel source that has
to know the details of the scheme for getting vDSO symbol values.
