[PATCH] x86_64 vDSO linker script cleanup
This reorganizes the x86_64 vDSO layout to pack the contents better.
This yields a smaller image, while keeping code cache-aligned away
from data, and leaving more room to grow both in the .note section
(where --build-id can add some), and in the code (.text) section,
before the image grows past one 4kb page.
