This type still wouldn't be correct if we ever end up with a 32-on-64
platform which is mostly implemented in userspace.  It would have 32-bit
function pointers, but the vdso page would still be outside the first 4
GiB of the address space.

We can use a typedef to the right type once the need arises for it, though.
