x86-64: Add CONFIG_UNSAFE_VSYSCALLS to feature-removal-schedule

CONFIG_UNSAFE_VSYSCALLS was added in the previous patch as a
temporary hack to avoid penalizing users who don't build glibc
from git.

 ----------------------------
+
+What:	CONFIG_UNSAFE_VSYSCALLS (x86_64)
+When:	When glibc 2.14 or newer is ubitquitous.  Perhaps mid-2012.
+Why:	Having user-executable code at a fixed address is a security problem.
+	Turning off CONFIG_UNSAFE_VSYSCALLS mostly removes the risk but will
+	make the time() function slower on glibc versions 2.13 and below.
