After adapting your get_vdso_data() to arch/arm/vdso, I come up with the
differences below, which seems surmountable mostly with the addition of
appropriate accessor functions for the data page, or changing the field
names to match.  So I can't say I'm persuaded.

I'm happy to review and facilitate changes to code in arch/arm/vdso to
make it possible to share it with arm64 for its compat VDSO.
