Anton Blanchard 30d0b36828 powerpc: Move 64bit VDSO to improve context switch performance
On 64bit applications the VDSO is the only thing in segment 0. Since the VDSO
is position independent we can remove the hint and let get_unmapped_area pick
an area. This will mean the vdso will be near other mmaps and will share
an SLB entry:

On a microbenchmark that bounces a token between two 64bit processes over pipes
and calls gettimeofday each iteration (to access the VDSO), our context switch
rate goes from 268k to 277k ctx switches/sec (tested on a 4GHz POWER6).
