I wouldn't mind if CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO went away entirely.
But if it's there, it should work properly.  Currently
it's quite haphazard: both real vma and fixmap are
mapped, both are put in the two different AT_* slots,
sysenter returns to the vma address rather than the
fixmap address, and core dumps yet are another story.

This patch makes CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO disable the real vma
and use the fixmap area consistently.  This makes it
actually compatible with what the old vdso implementation did.

I just tried your patch, but your changes seem to revert performance 
improvements achieved with 2.6.19, when vdso_enabled=1 and 
randomize_va_space=0.


Thanks!
