Hi Ben,

Im getting this on the current powerpc git tree:

arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c: In function 'handle_rt_signal':
arch/powerpc/kernel/signal_32.c:763: error: request for member
'vdso_base' in something not a structure or union

It looks like we use the mm_context_t definition in asm-ppc/mmu.h for
32bit ARCH=powerpc builds and need vdso_base there too.
