The Right Way to fix this is probably to have linux_vdso32.c and
linux_vdso64.c that #include linux_vdso.c after setting
ELF_WORD_SIZE similar to how sys/kern/imgact_elf.c works.
Then the COMPAT_LINUX and linux64.ko modules would include
linux_vdso64.c and COMPAT_LINUX32 and linux32.ko modules
(and linux.ko on i386) would include linux_vdso32.c.
