I don't like this because now a kernel compiled with both CONFIG_XEN

dynamically turn it off instead of having it forced.

Any suggestions about how to do this?  It seems hard to have a note
dynamically appear and disappear in the vsyscall.so.

I wasn't terribly concerned about this, since there is effectively zero
performance difference between the two library implementations.

I'm not super concerned either, but I still don't like it. There already is dynamic replacement for vsyscall.so, so you could have just dropped in an an-note-ated version.
