x86, vdso: Zero-pad the VVAR page
By coincidence, the VVAR page is at the end of an ELF segment. As a result, if it ends up being a partial page, the kernel loader will leave garbage behind at the end of the vvar page. Zero-pad it to a full page to fix this issue. This has probably been broken since the VVAR page was introduced. On QEMU, if you dump the run-time contents of the VVAR page, you can find entertaining strings from seabios left behind. It's remotely possible that this is a security bug -- conceivably there's some BIOS out there that leaves something sensitive in the few K of memory that is exposed to userspace.
