Reverting is safe since it simply re-establishes the 2.6.21 status quo.
Well, not really. It breaks any non-GPL module when CONFIG_PARAVIRT is
enabled, even though the same module would work fine otherwise. That's

The 2.6.21 status quo can by definition not be a regression compared

2.6.21's behaviour was a bug. CONFIG_PARAVIRT is not supposed to cause any behavioural changes.
