This patch deletes a bunch of code from arch/x86/net/bpf_jit_comp.c.
If you're proposing to deal with vsyscall check in JIT then
very similar code in the same spot will be re-introduced.
So we should address all issues at once to avoid code churn.

Let's think of it right now.

For the next patch you can reduce the cc list to avoid spamming all
mailing lists.
bpf@vger plus JIT folks for affected arches will be enough.
