- Make the handling of compat functions consistent and more robust
- Rework the underlying data store so that it is dynamically
allocated, which allows the conversion of the last holdout SPARC64
to the generic VDSO implementation
- Rework the SPARC64 VDSO to utilize the generic implementation
- Mop up the left overs of the non-generic VDSO support in the core
code.
- Expand the VDSO selftest and make them more robust
- Allow time namespaces to be enabled independently of the generic
VDSO support, which was not possible before due to SPARC64 not
using it.
- Various cleanups and improvements in the related code.
