Copy the fencing of the algorithm to do lock-less update and reading of the timehands, from the kern_tc.c implementation to vdso. Add comments giving hints where to look for the algorithm explanation.
To compensate the removal of rmb() in userspace binuptime(), add explicit lfence instruction before rdtsc. On i386, add usual complications to detect SSE2 presence; assume that old CPUs which do not implement SSE2 also execute rdtsc almost in order.

Rework the __vdso_* symbols attributes to only make the symbols weak, but use normal references instead of weak. This makes the statically linked binaries to use fast gettimeofday(2) by forcing the linker to resolve references and providing the neccessary functions.

Use struct vdso_timehands data to implement fast gettimeofday(2) and clock_gettime(2) functions if supported. The speedup seen in microbenchmarks is in range 4x-7x depending on the hardware.
Only amd64 and i386 architectures are supported. Libc uses rdtsc and kernel data to calculate current time, if enabled by kernel.
Hopefully, this code is going to migrate into vdso in some future.
