I would like to see VDSO done next, but it's entirely separate from
this series. This series only touches the core kernel build (i.e. via the
interactions with scripts/link-vmlinux.sh) or the boot stubs. So there
is no impact on VDSO linking.

They should be safe to land in -next, which is important so we can shake
out any other sneaky sections that all our existing testing hasn't
found. :)
