powerpc has functions doing more or less the same, they are called 
__c_kernel_clock_gettime() and alike with their prototypes siting in 
arch/powerpc/include/asm/vdso/gettimeofday.h

Should those prototypes be moved to include/vdso/gettime.h too and 
eventually renamed, or are they considered too powerpc specific ?
