Could we avoid the #ifdef here given that is_ilp32_compat_task() returns
0 when !CONFIG_ARM64_ILP32? I haven't tried to compile it.

Do we expect so many ILP32 files as to use a separate vdso-ilp32
directory? I prefer a single vdso directory.

So we don't even need many new files, just different compiler flags.

I think the compiler could optimise away some of these and avoid the
#ifdef (similarly in the code where we check for
is_ilp32_compat_task()).
