[PATCH] uml: fix vsyscall brokenness
The #if/#ifdef cleanup exposed a bug in UML's ELF header processing. With this bug fixed, UML recognizes the vsyscall info coming from the host. On FC4, there is a vsyscall page low in the address space, which UML doesn't provide. This causes an infinite page fault loop and a hang on boot. This patch works around that by making this look like a no-vsyscall system.
