This patch adds support for architectures that want to use VDSO as a
library but don't need all the (Intel specific) syscall mechanism.
Specifically for kernels that provide AT_SYSINFO_EHDR but not AT_SYSINFO.
The 1st patched defines the new macro NEED_DL_SYSINFO_EHDR and made the
parts that implement function specific AT_SYSINFO_EHDR conditional on:
#if defined NEED_DL_SYSINFO || NEED_DL_SYSINFO_EHDR
This means platforms that currently use AT_SYSINFO don't change and
platforms that only need AT_SYSINFO_EHDR can do so by defining only
NEED_DL_SYSINFO_EHDR.
The 2nd patch adds VDSO (AT_SYSINFO_EHDR only) support for Powerpc
Linuxthread.
The 3rd patch adds VDSO (AT_SYSINFO_EHDR only) support for Powerpc nptl.
