x86-64: Emulate legacy vsyscalls

There's a fair amount of code in the vsyscall page.  It contains
a syscall instruction (in the gettimeofday fallback) and who
knows what will happen if an exploit jumps into the middle of
some other code.

Reduce the risk by replacing the vsyscalls with short magic
incantations that cause the kernel to emulate the real
vsyscalls. These incantations are useless if entered in the
middle.

This causes vsyscalls to be a little more expensive than real
syscalls.  Fortunately sensible programs don't use them.
The only exception is time() which is still called by glibc
through the vsyscall - but calling time() millions of times
per second is not sensible. glibc has this fixed in the
development tree.

This patch is not perfect: the vread_tsc and vread_hpet
functions are still at a fixed address.  Fixing that might
involve making alternative patching work in the vDSO.

[ Removed the CONFIG option - it's simpler to just do it unconditionally. Tidied up the code as well. ]
