I still can't see the point with that change.

Today 4 architectures implement getrandom and none of them require that 
indirection. Please leave prot and flags as they are in the code.

Then this file is totally pointless, VDSO code can include 
uapi/linux/mman.h directly.

VDSO is userland code, it should be safe to include any UAPI file there.
