So you expect everybody using para virtualization to set this option?

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.
