Actually, thinking about it, removing it is probably better:
a) gets rid of legacy code, making room for unification;
b) either way enabling compat support (either relocation or disabling
the vdso) has a performance penalty for *all* processes.
The only way to avoid that is to have a vdso at a fixed addresses across
all processes, either in the fixmap or in the user area (presumably at
the very top.)
