The VDSO is part of the kernel image and therefore the struct pages are
marked as reserved during boot.

As we install a special mapping, the actual struct pages will never be
exposed to MM via the page tables. We can therefore leave the pages
marked as reserved.

I'm going to assume this will go in through another tree along with the rest of 
the set assuming everyone else is happy with it.
