We also run critical software that depends on the vm86 for performance reasons, and we are already using dosemu with root privileges to gain direct hardware access, so we see the potential security risks of this are trivial. The suggestion above to have the patch back-ported to enable vm86 only when vm.mmap_min_addr=0 seems a perfectly good way of satisfying all user cases.
