This patch uses __kernel_vsyscall instead of "int 0x80"
as the syscall entry point. AT_SYSINFO points to
an adapter to mask the arch specific difference and gives a
performance boost on i386 architecture.

This doesn't affect code like Chrome that correctly ignores EINTR on
close, makes code that tries TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY work (where before it might
have closed a different fd and appeared to succeed, or had a bogus EBADF),
and makes "goto fail" code work (instead of mistakenly assuming that EINTR
means that the close failed).
Who loses? Anyone actively trying to detect that they caught a signal while
in close(2). I don't think those people exist, and I think they have better
alternatives available.
