[PATCH] i386: Relocate VDSO ELF headers to match mapped location with COMPAT_VDSO

Some versions of libc can't deal with a VDSO which doesn't have its
ELF headers matching its mapped address.  COMPAT_VDSO maps the VDSO at
a specific system-wide fixed address.  Previously this was all done at
build time, on the grounds that the fixed VDSO address is always at
the top of the address space.  However, a hypervisor may reserve some
of that address space, pushing the fixmap address down.

This patch does the adjustment dynamically at runtime, depending on
the runtime location of the VDSO fixmap.

[ Patch has been through several hands: Jan Beulich wrote the orignal
  version; Zach reworked it, and Jeremy converted it to relocate phdrs
  as well as sections. ]
