I think the addr calculation was already confusing and is now even
worse.  How about simplifying it?  Get rid of calculate_addr entirely
and push the vdso_addr calls into arch_setup_additional_pages, etc.
Then just use addr directly in the map_vdso code.

Why is this better than just passing the vdso_image pointer in?
