So this should be fixed by commit 2b666859ec32 ("x86: Default to
vsyscall=native for now"), since we disabled the vsyscall emulation
because it broken UML too.

Of course, the chromium seccomp thing might re-surface with the
patches that enable the emulation (with better emulation), which Andy
is still working on, and that I was planning on merging for 3.3.

Andy, it migth be worth contacting Nix and having him test whether
your fixed emulation works for chromium too.
