Any change to the vDSO is fine if (and this is a hard requirement) the
changes do not make the vDSO position dependent.  We definitely need the
vDSO address to be randomized.  It's OK for now to have a fixed address
but fixing the vDSO text for every program start is not acceptable.
This is how we arrived at the current model.
