x86-64: Work around gold bug 13023
Gold has trouble assigning numbers to the location counter inside of an output section description. The bug was triggered by 9fd67b4e, which consolidated all of the vsyscall sections into a single section. The workaround is IMO still nicer than the old way of doing it. This produces an apparently valid kernel image and passes my vdso tests on both GNU ld version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118 and GNU gold (version 2.21.51.0.6-2.fc15 20110118) 1.10 as distributed by Fedora 15.
