We have backports primed and ready for the next point release. They are waiting on the release manager to cherrypick them.
I think we were aware that our VDSO usage may have exploited some peculiarities in how the ppc64 version was constructed (i.e hand written assembly which just didn't happen to clobber R30). Go up to this point has only used the vdso function __kernel_clock_gettime; it is the only entry point which would need to explicitly avoid R30 for Go's sake.
