VMI is broken under COMPAT_VDSO, as Xen and other non hardware

too radical to consider at this stage in the release of 2.6.21. We
don't expect this config option to be turned on by vendors for new
distributions, so at this point we are willing to drop support for it
when VMI is compiled in, and work on a patch for 2.6.22 which more
fully addresses the problem.
Please apply, thanks.
I suppose it would be better if I attached the patch.
