We talked briefly but I'm still confused why we need the fallback to the
syscall here if archdata.vdso_direct is false. Is it because if the
timer driver code sets vdso_direct to false, we don't don't support
highres timers? If my understanding is correct, you may want to move the
hrtimer_res setting in update_vsyscall() to the !use_syscall block.
