[PATCH] uml: fix vsyscall brokenness

The #if/#ifdef cleanup exposed a bug in UML's ELF header processing.  With
this bug fixed, UML recognizes the vsyscall info coming from the host.  On
FC4, there is a vsyscall page low in the address space, which UML doesn't
provide.  This causes an infinite page fault loop and a hang on boot.

This patch works around that by making this look like a no-vsyscall system.
