Shall i skip running "test_vdso_64" when vsyscall=none ?
or
Shall we fix the test case to work when vsyscall=none ?

"test_vdso_64" test failed log when vsyscall=none on x86_64.
This is a combination of VSYSCALL_EMULATE=y and kernel cmdline vsyscall=none
With this combination test PASS on qemu_x86_64 fails on real hardware.
