Since they fix a build regression with certain toolchains[*], I agree
with putting the ARM VDSO patches (#1 and #2 from this thread) into
4.1-stable, as long as 3473f26592c1c "ARM: 8405/1: VDSO: fix regression
with toolchains lacking ld.bfd executable" is applied immediately
afterward, since it fixes a problem introduced by #2.

[*] Toolchains built by the Angstrom distribution from Linaro sources,
not current binary toolchains as distributed by Linaro, as implied in
the cover letter.  One change Angstrom makes is the choice of default
linker, which is what exposed the problem in the first place.
