Ah, yes, the VDSO issue.  This is separate, and does need fixing. 

Basically, if the user doesn't select COMPAT_VDSO, we don't have a
problem.  Currently they don't get offered COMPAT_VDSO if PARAVIRT is
enabled, but we *still* disable vdso in that case (unless vdso=1 is on
cmdline).

I think the best choice is to rework COMPAT_VDSO to a general "support
old glibcs" option, which will either (1) map it fixed if !
CONFIG_PARAVIRT, or (2) disable it if CONFIG_PARAVIRT.

I'll send that soon...

Cheers,
Rusty.
