Subject: [patch] paravirt: re-enable COMPAT_VDSO

Subject: [patch] paravirt: re-enable COMPAT_VDSO
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...e.hu>

CONFIG_PARAVIRT broke old glibc bootup: it silently turned off the 
selectability of CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO and thus rendered distro kernels 
unbootable on old-style VDSO glibc setups.

the proper solution is to keep COMPAT_VDSO available - if a hypervisor 
needs any modification of that concept then we'll judge those changes in 
full context, once those changes are submitted.
