In the last few years the kernel gained quite some architecture specific vdso implementations which contain very similar code. Introduce a generic VDSO implementation of gettimeofday() which will be shareable between architectures once they are converted over. The implementation is based on the current x86 VDSO code.

Each architecture that enables this feature has to

provide the fallback implementation.

32 bit, it does not need to define this parameter.
