No it's not, because it won't be applied.
You need to fix it.
I'm not sure what goes wrong, since it *looks* like you handle the "vdso_enabled" thing correctly, so I find it surprising that you say that
echo 0 >/proc/sys/abi/vsyscall32
makes it work, since it should be zero already, and that echo should be a no-op. But maybe I'm missing something.
Maybe you can just fake the boot parameter and fix the OpenSuSE breakage that way (presumably that "init" sees it if it's some user-space setup thing), but I'd like to know why that "echo 0" works, but just initializing it to zero does not?
