Yikes. I'll button this up. I'm surprised that I need to import the
namespace of my own module... but I don't have a strong enough
understanding of what all is going on.

Also, allmodconfig never compiles for me, so I can't really test it:

make W=1 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- -j$(nproc)
...
arch/arm/vdso/vgettimeofday.c:10:5: error: no previous prototype for ‘__vdso_clock_gettime’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
   10 | int __vdso_clock_gettime(clockid_t clock,
      |     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll try it without cross-compile and see if I have better luck.
