I really do not like this. This is UAPI, and it's linux/something.h
style of UAPI. What does moving it to vdso/ accomplish except confusion
for people looking where the code is and then polluting users'
/usr/include with extra directories that aren't meaningful?
A change like this makes me think the approach taken by this patchset
might not be the right one.
