So most users can just leave it enabled. I'm sure there are quite a lot of people to still use SUSE 9.0 and similar time frame RH and debian etc. To be honest, I don't think this is a particularly useful position. Nobody wants to set weird command line options. It should just work. We should value binary compatibility out of the box higher. I guess i'll just disable the vDSO with CONFIG_PARAVIRT unless someone comes up with a patch to fix it in a compatible way. -Andi
