This is a backport of the series that recently went into 5.8. Note
that the first patch is more a complete rewriting than a backport, as
the vdso implementation in 5.4 doesn't have much in common with
mainline. This affects the 32bit arch code in a benign way.

It has seen very little testing, as I don't have the HW that triggers
this issue. I have run it in VMs by faking the CPU MIDR, and nothing
caught fire. Famous last words.
These are also needed in 5.7.y, right?  If so, I need that series before
I can take this one as we don't want people moving to a newer kernel and
suffer regressions :(

thanks,
