When neither sysenter32 nor syscall32 is available (on either
FRED-capable 64-bit hardware or old 32-bit hardware), there is no
reason to do a bunch of stack shuffling in __kernel_vsyscall.
Unfortunately, just overwriting the initial "push" instructions will
mess up the CFI annotations, so suffer the 3-byte NOP if not
applicable.
Similarly, inline the int $0x80 when doing inline system calls in the
vdso instead of calling __kernel_vsyscall.

Abstract out the calling of true system calls from the vdso into
macros.
It has been a very long time since gcc did not allow %ebx or %ebp in
inline asm in 32-bit PIC mode; remove the corresponding hacks.
Remove the use of memory output constraints in gettimeofday.h in favor
of "memory" clobbers. The resulting code is identical for the current
use cases, as the system call is usually a terminal fallback anyway,
and it merely complicates the macroization.
This patch adds only a handful of more lines of code than it removes,
and in fact could be made substantially smaller by removing the macros
for the argument counts that aren't currently used, however, it seems
better to be general from the start.
[ v3: remove stray comment from prototyping; remove VDSO_SYSCALL6()
since it would require special handling on 32 bits and is
currently unused. (Uros Biszjak)
