This fixes various errors in the new functions added in the vDSO's,
I've been able to test the 32 bits version and I get consistent results
with the corresponding syscalls.

There is still a question about get_tbfreq() though. It currently
returns the value that the kernel keeps in tb_ticks_per_sec. This value
is obtained from the timebase at boot, but it's truncated to HZ
precision:

	tb_ticks_per_jiffy = ppc_tb_freq / HZ;
	tb_ticks_per_sec = tb_ticks_per_jiffy * HZ;

And it's later on modified by the ppc_adjtimex() code.

This is different from the value exposed in /proc/cpuinfo for the
timebase which is a straight copy of ppc_tb_freq, which is the
calibration value obtained at boot and unmodified.

The question at this point are: Is that "rouding" to HZ done by the
kernel correct ? And should the vDSO return this value that gets
adjusted or the fixed initial calibration value, or both.

In the later case, should I add an argument to get_tbfreq() or add a
separate function ?

In the meantime, please apply this patch as it fixes a few annoying bug
in the vDSO implementation currently in -rc1.
