well, it's critical to me in two ways: 1) to make the i386 paravirt code
clean 2) to have a proper VDSO for a KVM paravirtual guest. The original
change is also bad because it changes how a Linux guest behaves: it
turns off the vdso by default, and disables the compat VDSO. I.e. it's a
bad performance step backwards if CONFIG_PARAVIRT is enabled (uses int
$0x80 instead of sysenter), which hurts only KVM and basically none of
the other hypervisors. It also muddifies the VDSO picture wrt.
virtualization.
kvm paravirt is only used by developers at this time. I don't have a
problem with solving this in the 2.6.22 timeframe.
