[PATCH 6/6] arm64: Wire up and expose the new compat vDSO

From: Kevin Brodsky <kevin.brodsky at arm.com>

Expose the new compat vDSO via the COMPAT_VDSO config option.

The option is not enabled in defconfig because we really need a 32-bit
compiler this time, and we rely on the user to provide it themselves
by setting CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32. Therefore enabling the option by
default would make little sense, since the user must explicitly set a
non-standard environment variable anyway.

CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO is not directly used in the code, because we want
to ignore it (build as if it were not set) if the user didn't set
CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32. If the variable has been set to a valid prefix,
CONFIG_VDSO32 will be set; this is the option that the code and
Makefiles test.

For more flexibility, like CROSS_COMPILE, CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32 can also
be set via CONFIG_CROSS_COMPILE_ARM32 (the environment variable
overrides the config option, as expected).

+	  Provide a vDSO to 32-bit processes. It includes the symbols provided
